Guitar Geezer Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 THe bridge going from Norfolk/ VA Beach over to the Hamptons is similar (but not quite as scenic - tooo many battleships in the way) Lynn G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I was gonna say, don't the Hampton Roads (?) bridge and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel do the same thing? And, actually, I'm rather fond of aircraft carriers and such. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scroll a little, Picture is near the top of page .Yes, it's Malmö-Copenhagen bridge+tunnel. There's also railways below the motorways. Lots of traffic there, many people live in one country and work in the other, cool commute! http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

And btw, the bridge's name is The Öresund Bridge. Website http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

Dennyf Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Originally posted by Tedster: You betcha they do, Botch. Just last summer the area was hit by Isabel.Yep Ted, the HRBT and the Chesapeake Bay BT do the same thing, 'ceptin' fer the HRBT has one tunnel and the Chesapeake has two. Plus the Chesapeake is 'way longer (13 miles, I think, and a toll bridge. No second level, tho, with train tracks or anything else. Isabel was my first hurricane here, and it whacked the OBX a lot harder than us. But neither BT had any issues. The downtown tunnel in Norfolk was another matter.

Guitar Geezer Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I was living up ther back in the late 90s and experienced Felix - who wound up stalling off the VAB coast and then shot up North towards NJ and NYC.
