Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel

Lucius J. Kellam Jr. Bridge-Tunnel, the crossing that threads islands and tunnels across the mouth of the Chesapeake, remembered here from a 1991 road trip through the Mid-Atlantic.

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (officially named for Lucius J. Kellam Jr.) is the engineered line between Virginia Beach and the Eastern Shore, miles of low trestles, high spans, and tunnels where ships pass above the road. This page is a stub anchored to a 1991 trip: the crossing showed up in the archive as a named keepsake from that summer’s drive. Photos and a fuller write-up can follow when the negatives or scans surface.
