Jack Aubrey Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Isn't that the Chesapeake Bay bridge tunnel? I've driven it, it's no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Pretty trippy! I think it'd be fun to drive that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-D-RocK- Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Looks like an engineering marvel. The $64 question is: Did it start off as a bridge and become a tunnel? Or did it start off as a tunnel and become a bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching The History Channel (or was is Discovery?) covering the building of this. I can't remember where it is, but that is one amazing engineering feat. I think I'd prefer this to the George Washington Bridge, which I almost had a heart attack driving over. Big, high bridges creep me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't drive yet, but I've been on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and in the tunnnel, and it's no big deal. It's fun actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how I remember them explaining why they built the tunnel: There were logistical issues with building a traditional passageway that would accommodate ships passing under, so the engineers came up with the tunnel idea. They sunk the tunnel in large pieces which were sealed at each end then opened up after each one was connected to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
