Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel Crash early Morning

An accident has happened at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. A crash of two barges into the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel today has resulted in the closure of southbound lanes.

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT) is a 23-mile (37-km) long fixed link that connects the Delmarva Peninsula with southeastern Virginia in the United States.

It crosses the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and connects the independent city of Virginia Beach, Virginia to Cape Charles in Northampton County along with the rest of the eastern shore of Virginia.


The barges collided reportedly early Monday morning at the 17.6 mile section of the highway. Officials are not reporting any injuries nor estimated timeline for the problem to be corrected.


The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel prohibits bicycles but offers a shuttle van for $12 USD.

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel was featured in the 2006 film Mission Impossible III.
