The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel – Virginia, America

This state-of-the-art bridge-tunnel provides a stomach-churning 17-mile journey from Virginia Beach near Norfolk to Virginia’s Eastern Shore. Apart from the not-so-scenic tunnels, the two-lane highway comprises some breathtaking views in the 25-minute drive. While ferries operated on this path before, it was inaugurated in 1964, thereby replacing the traditional slower method of commute.

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel ranks among the Seven Engineering Wonders of the Modern World owing to its stunning architecture over and under the Atlantic Ocean. Besides connecting the tourist destinations to its north and south, commuters often travel along the road only to see the striking scenery along the way.
