The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is considered to be "One of Seven Engineering Wonders of the
Modern World." The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel opened as a two-lane highway in 1964. Thirty-
five years later, the southbound side opened, making it a four-lane highway. The 20-mile road cuts 95
miles from the trip between Virginia Beach, Virginia and Wilmington, Delaware. It is made of two high
bridges, two, one-mile tunnels, four man-made islands, and 12 miles of trestle. Each island is 10 acres in
size and has almost 1.2 million tons of rock armor. The 12 miles of trestle are supported by more than
5000 concrete piles.
