NORFOLK, Va. — Here at News 3, when it comes to transportation, we get a lot of messages and questions about work on the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. But if you would like to gain firsthand knowledge on the HRBT, project leaders are hosting a series of information sessions in the coming months.

At a recent session, News 3 learned that drilling on the final tunnel is set to finish up later this month, with a breakthrough date scheduled for September 24.

However, that’s not the only tidbit of information available to folks who attend these sessions.

“I was able to see what infrastructure had to be built first, how the north and south islands had to be prepared. We can’t have suddenly eight tunnels come into two lanes of traffic you know?” said Norfolk resident Becky Jones.
