how much did it cost to build the chesapeake bay bridge tunnel?
$ 350 million
as of may 2018 the chesapeake bay bridge–tunnel has been crossed by more than 130 million vehicles. the cbbt complex carries u.s. route 13 (us 13), the main north–south highway on virginia's eastern shore on the delmarva peninsula, and, as part of the east coast's longstanding ocean highway, provides the only straight direct link along the east coast and atlantic ocean, between the eastern shore and south hampton roads regions, as well as an alternate route to link the northeast u.s. and points in between with norfolk and further south to the carolinas and florida. the bridge–tunnel saves motorists and hours on a trip between virginia beach/norfolk and points north and east of the chesapeake and delaware valley, river and bay without going through the traffic congestion in the baltimore–washington metropolitan area further west in maryland and northern virginia. from 1995 to 1999, at an additional cost of almost $200 million, the capacity of the above-water portion of bridges on the facility was increased and widened to four lanes. an upgrade of the two-lane tunnels is currently underway.
