@coastalcurr3nts: Mary, the tunnel-boring machine, made its final breakthrough on the new Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnels Wednesday. Gov. Glenn Youngkin and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy were in attendance for the historic moment, marking a major milestone in the HRBT Expansion Project — a nearly $4 billion project that has taken almost 17 million man-hours. The new tunnels are expected to open by spring 2027.

What a boring machine

Spoon :

Automotive industry pays louder than common sense. We want trains, not lanes. This should have been a tunnel for the Norfolk TIDE or the Amtrak lines to connect to the peninsula.

CommonSenseConservative :

You mean completion in 2029. It was originally November 2025.

Towni :

Now turn it around for a light rail tunnel

Alexander L :

They should just build a train tunnel or subway from Newportnews to Norfolk connecting the existing railroad’s expanding the Amtrak lines and making it a more centralized tourist area going to Virginia Beach like Washington or New York.
