The Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel connects Cape Henry with the North Hampton Peninsula, across the 20 mile wide mouth of the bay. It has two tunnels under the channel, each two miles long, to allow vehicle traffic (one lane each way) proceed at normal speeds while large ships sail to and fro.

This is one of the two locations in mid-channel where the vehicles enter and exit from these long tunnels. A long pier extends out to one side, over the water for fishermen and sightseers. There is a restaurant and gift shop, restrooms, etc. It is quite a piece of engineering.
