You can see the coal terminal just to the left of the interstate, the ventilation/offices on the island, and the causeways soft curve, point it out to be the mmbt. I suppose you were an I-64 person so you are more familiar with the "hampton roads bridge tunnel" up the river. A lot of people are probably familiar with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel at the mouth the of the Chesapeake bay further out connecting VA Beach with the eastern shore of VA. The reason for all of the bridge-tunnels is a navy/coast guard agreement with VA as they are afraid that a bridge could be destroyed blocking Newport News Shipyard (one of the largest shipyards in the world), Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and Norfolk naval base, the largest naval base in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor-Merrimac_Memorial_Bridge-Tunnel <shown http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampton_Roads_Bridge-Tunnel <what you thought of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesapeake_Bay_Bridge_Tunnel <bigger/better, 23 mile connection consisting of two tunnels, 3 causeways and 1 raised span @Srmanis:
