The Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel Expansion Project is the largest highway construction project in Virginia’s history. This project widens the current four-lane segments along nearly 10 miles of the I-64 corridor in Norfolk and Hampton and includes the construction of new twin tunnels across the harbor by TBM.
