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.
