The Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion is the largest highway construction project in Virginia’s history. This transformative undertaking will widen the current four-lane segments along nearly ten miles of the I-64 corridor in Norfolk and Hampton, with new twin tunnels across the harbor. The expansion will increase capacity, ease major congestion, and enhance travel time reliability. Including the construction contract and owner’s costs, the project’s total budget is over $3.9 billion, making it one of the largest infrastructure projects in the country.
SmithCo Side Dump Trailers are being used in the road construction portion of the tunnels that are 50'-60' UNDERNEATH the James River as it flows into Chesapeake Bay. We got to travel under the river to capture some footage of the construction project. Thank you to Superintendent Philippe Carlier for taking the time to show us around.
