These are photos from my trip across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, which is located in Virginia Beach, VA. The bridge is 17 miles long and connects the beach area with the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The bridge has 2 underwater tunnels. A restaurant & gift shop are located at the first tunnel along with a fishing pier.
