Flew over this on my way from Philadelphia to Miami once, what a view from the air! Engineering marvel!

So many people here say they're glad you made this video because they're scared to go on this bridge. I'm glad you made this video, but I'd LOVE the chance to go back there again!

I have seen this bridge numerous times flying in jets at 33,000 feet up. It's neat seeing it from on high!!!

I drove over this bridge several times when i was trucking, drove one night during a severe T-storm and I thought the winds were gonna push my entire truck over the side of the bridge

When I was in the Navy I used to drive from Norfolk to NY and this bridge-tunnel saved me about 2 hours of drive time...I was 20 years old then and thought I was invincible....now there is no freaking way I could drive over this thing...I don’t like bridges anymore

I've driven this bridge/tunnel many times and have never thought about recording it. This is very cool, nice work!

I used to be on that bridge in the year 1977 to 1978 travelling with a southern gospel groups about every weekend. Now I miss it very much.

I live next to this bridge. Have been on it countless times when I travel up north. They have a great tourist shop on the bridge. To me its home. Never had problems driving on it. Or in the tunnels. If there are bad storms they close it down. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

I love crossing this bridge. I cross it twice a year with my family when we go to Virginia Beach :D

Virginia Beach native. Thanks for sharing! Traveled this bridge many times from VA Beach to the Eastern Shore of Virginia & Maryland. It will then take you to I-95 on to PA, NJ/NY. There are 3 in the area total. 2 others connect Norfolk/VA Beach to Hampton/Williamsburg. You can even catch a ferry to the historic Jamestown settlement! Many people are even scared to drive across and we do have rideshare services for those folk that will take them across. The height of the crashing waves in high wind is the scariest it gets! 😁

I am SO glad that you didn't feel compelled to add a rock soundtrack or keep up a steady steam of chatter. Thank you. It's very enjoyable this way for me. (I've crossed the CBBT once, in 1974. I would go again, although those tunnels were murder on my ear pressure.)

We’ve ridden that a few times,it’s so amazing how they built it seeing the currents below in the bay ! A work of AMERICAN GENIUS !

I remember when that bridge was only one bridge with two lanes going each way. Omg it was scary especially when people would try and pass u 😳😳

Great video. Like that other guy said, thanks for not putting some cheesy rock music on as "background." Also, thanks for stopping before the tunnel and driving around onto the wayside for the view. Nice touch!

Thanks for showing that. I saw a post on Facebook and then I looked it up and then watching your video was like me from San Diego taking a vacation and driving on this. That was fun.

Thank you for making this video without adding music. Makes for a realistic experience. I used to drive on this several times in the mid 1970s.

That was AWESOME!!! I'm from Georgia and my dream is to view The Chesapeake Bay and its beauty! I'm an Earth Science Teacher (middle school) and "Earth's Water" is a unit I teach. Thank you sooo much!! 🌏🌅

I've never been on Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel but at least i get to see what looks like driving on it. Cool video.

Looks like a comfortable ride in the car you was driving. You drove the damm thing. Nice video

Beast too Break Down There ! Looks just like the Harbor Tunnel . Amazing Build ... Great Video

I did that twice, we had a load to deliver and the 18 wheeler I was in took this route for delivery and a pick up at the same location to take back to NYC-Long Island. Brought back memories, Alan, excellent video :o)

Grew up in ocean view Norfolk and you could always see it on the horizon at night. Went over and under many times.

Thanks for the memories. Went over this a couple of times way back in the 60's on a couple of our family trips from Boston to Atlanta, I rode in the back of a Chevy wagon on this bridge. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting this, I was just reading about the bridge and it was nice to be able to see what it's like to drive it.

I was heading to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. I was going over this bridge at nighttime while a severe thunderstorm was happening! As we were going over, there were high winds and the Lightning kept coming down on the bay and some of the streetlights on the bridge blew out. It was scary but my parents thought it was cool. 😁

When we went on this magnificently engineered Bridge Tunnel we actually went under a USN ship going to port.

Great video! This trip is on my bucket list.

And I would break out in cold sweats driving over the Tappen Zee bridge!

I've been over this bridge dozens of times since I was a kid. Its super cool and relatively safe. Way safer than crossing the bay in a boat.

I just read that there have been 14 over the rail fatal crashes since 1984, 11 of which were trucks. The most recent one, the bridge people sued the truck company for $70k. I just went over this bridge last week and thought it was beautiful. After reading that, i think its slightly less beautiful.

Interesting to see a "control sign" saying Philadelphia all the way down in Norfolk, knowing that U.S. Hwy. 13 passes through Pocomoke City, MD, Salisbury, MD, Dover, DE, and Wilmington, DE before reaching Philly.

I've driven this bridge three times solo...crossed 6 times total... that was 25 years ago, today I would never ever drive over a bridge like this I do not know how I did it in the past... it is definitely true, as you get older you get smarter

LOL when the music started at the end it startled me a little.

Thank You for Making This Video! The thought of going across this, even in an airplane, freaks me out. This video is awesome and answered a lot of my questions. Thanks for not chatting while you recorded it. That made it very relaxing to watch.

I Love your Awesome video!!! TY 4 Sharing this bc me & my Son Conquered our Fear this Past March 2017 & we will be back 4 the Water!!! Awesome!!!

Thank you for sharing this, because I could never drive this bridge. I felt queasy just watching this. It’s exciting but scary. 😦

1983, my parents, brother and myself going across that bridge in the midst of a thunderstorm, terrifying. I think my mom is still shaking.

I drove over this bridge on my motorcycle in 1981 , I was much younger then, I wouldn’t do it now, hell no, it was scary then

Thank you for making this video drove over this bridge many times going on vacation from New York to Virginia Beach remember when this bridge was two lanes .enjoy driving over this bridge still do.

superb vid ,THANKS, from the UK.

thanks thank thanks thank and thanks and you and you and you made so glad

So amazing and intimidating at the same time. Would like to drive it once. Growing feeling of need to see land really soon.

Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Showing the ship crossing over was a very cool moment too. Thanks for posting this.

I was so happy to see trees.

As soon as I get my new motorcycle, this will be my first destination 😍 I LOVE bridges!

I love this picture 🎉

I was there in 98 or 99 when I was a kid. It was/is super cool

Awesome video my parents took me across this when I was a kid around 1980 it was only 2 lanes back then

Used to work with a guy who did all the surveying on that bridge during its construction. until 2010, my brother lived in Va, Beach, used to drive that about 4 times a year.

I used to drive on it when I went to Virginia Beach through New Jersey - it definitely has less traffic - it's a bit scary when you get out there and have water all around you around 10 miles out but you get used to it and you can't turn around. I have heard of people freaking out when they are out there but just keep your eyes on the road and it will be OK

I would love to cross that bridge!! Thanks for the upload!! 👍👍😎😎🇺🇸🇺🇸

I have gone through this tunnel on the two trips we took to NC when I was a teenager. I thought it was the coolest thing. Now I'm terrified of bridges and tunnels and couldn't imagine going through this now.

nice thanks for sharing

Wow what a fishing spot

I've never been there and this was interesting to say thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing....

This looks like hella fun, until someone's car stalls. Now driving at night... 'Hell no! I won't go."

Wow... I enjoyed that! Watched end to end.. great stuff!

My wife had a business trip to Norfolk, VA from Texas and I accompanied her on her flight there. She rented a car once there for her trip. We decided to take a drive to this bridge. I drove one way, then we turned right back and she drove back.

This is awesome. I miss being on that bridge. The gift shop/restaurant was kinda cool since I was last there. Looks like they raised the toll since I was there as well.

My father recently reminded me about the time he traveled this route. No bay bridge tunnel, you had to take a ferry! Let's see who can remember those days!

I WAS HOLDING MY BREATHE THE WHOLE WAY SEEMS LIKE OOWWEEEE THOSE 2 TUNNELS HELLL 2 THE NAW. I can't even take the tunnel from Michigan to Canada!! GREAT VIDEO THANK UUU

Went over this bridge when I was 19 (1978ish). Back then it was my father driving over it and I was getting a little anxious seeing nothing but water around me. Friend of mine just moved to Virginia and I just moved to Delaware 2 years ago. As soon as this pandemic is over will have to get over my fear and visit him via this bridge tunnel. This video helps me know how to maneuver through it. Thanks.

Longest bridge, EVER. At least it doesn’t go high up. Those are the ones that scare me. I am terrified of heights, especially on something that is suspension, and arches into the clouds. Cars shouldn’t be that high into the air. No thank you.

Just by watching it it’s giving me an anxiety attack, I don’t know how people can drive on bridges longer that 12 feet.

When I did this route it happened to rain it was a cloudy rainy scary drive

Cool video of the pavement.

That was awesome! Thank you!

Thanks for a GREAT video!!!! It's seemingly in true time, too. I crossed as a kid back in the early '60s but don't remember much, and I'd like to do it again and will, Lord willing, thanks to this! It's really the best video I've yet seen, and I especially appreciate knowing that one can pull over just before the tunnel to get a nice view of the sea over the tunnel. It really is more of a causeway for most of the distance than a bridge, and the raised bridge portion seems short. One wonders why they didn't do a higher bridge in the center for the ships instead of two tunnels: perhaps because of currents or whatever (?). Thanks again!

That was an awesome Ride thanks

Lucius J. Kellam Jr. Bridge Tunnel, remember that ceremony well. Still have my numbered limited edition print. Thank you for two great years, best job I ever had.

Great video!

Great Video

That ocean is huge dont want to have car trouble stuck in the middle of nowhere the engineering is awesome !!!

Thanks, John, great video tour, I'll never use this span, perhaps when I was younger, I'd do it. I can't believe that the Government, allowed both the right and left lanes, to merge into one tunnel, crazy! Posting to my Facebook page.

Actually $13.00 for a 17-mile bridge isn't that bad, that about $ 0.75 a mile, good deal considering what it would cost in gas to drive around.

We lived in VBeach and husband, navy, was stationed in Earle NJ for 2 years..I drove this bridge every other week, all hours, all weather...when he wasn't deployed..9/11 happened during his tour..but that's what sailor's families do plus I too, was a sailor! Remember in 04, I think, Melanie McGuire, drove from NJ OVER THE BRIDGE AND DROPPED 3 LUGGAGE PIECES OF HER HUBBY..OVER THE LOOKOUT..THEY WASHED ON SHORE! 😬

This bridge is the 2nd longest in America only to the "Lake Pontchartrain Causeway", at 23.87 miles makes it the longest bridge in the world

Thats in my neck of the woods now!

I get anxious just watching these kind of videos.

I drove it once. Claustrophobia, fear of heights, the roller coaster and the speeding cars that (angrily) shot past me made this the most dangerous drive I've ever taken.

I have driven over it myself on my way home from Virginia Beach and in person it is even cooler.

Awesome Video Alan! It is like driving across an ocean! Longest bridge ever!

This is deja Vu. I've seen this ride in my dreams before. Wow

I love going on this bridge to the outer banks but I’m sad because I haven’t gone there since 2017 I want to see this amazing bridge again

I hate tunnels. The make me feel clausterphobic.

Awesome video, for the past month I take the trip from north jersey to VA Beach every 2 week's to go visit my new born son.. drive is good but riding by this bridge is straight awesome and makes my 6hr trip worth it (besides visiting my son) .. think I'll record my trip next time .. great video again!

You're my hero I could never get over that bridge I have watched your video for your years if you ever come to Boston or Providence let me know

Very enjoyable video! It brought back good memories from 1986 ~ and I’m glad you didn’t add music 🎶

I have driven this bridge tunnel many times, eventhough it has been quite a few years ago. What couldn't be seen is the restaurant that is in the middle of the spans. There is a pier there also. We're had stopped there and had breakfast one time. Do not know of it is still there or not. I may make this trek down there this summer and find out. Excellent video. Keep up the great work. Have fun, stay safe and stay healthy.

I know.. I've been over it. I lived and grew up in Hampton roads area. Hated that bridge . then worked for a concrete pumping co and sent guys over there to fix parts of it. I still won't go over it lol 15 years later

My family and I drive over this bridge 🌉 to get to cape hatteras North Carolina and it’s pretty cool 😎

Love it!

I like the bay bridge tunnel.

Damn that Long ass bridge

Great video I have traveled this bridge before

Thank you so much to whomever went to the trouble post this video. The last time I crossed the Chesapeale bay at this point was 1956 with my folks who had elected to move to the west coast of Florida to spend their retirement years. I was 12 yoa then now I am 76. There was no Bay Bridge Tunnel at that time, we had to cross on a ship which was large enough to take the waves from the open ocean while carrying our car and 38 foot house trailer containing everything we owned and as I remember quite a few other cars and tractor trailers willing to pay for the expensive crossing to save the mileage of going much further inland for the trip south!

I had an anxiety attack driving on that bridge I almost literally stopped my car on the bridge

The Mackinac Bridge (UP Michigan to Mackinac Island) is another bridge folks have someone who works on it to drive for you.... it's that scary for some. I LOVED it!!

The tunnels do not have much of a height clearance especially for the 18 wheelers. They definitely need to build another tunnel to separate the north and southbound traffic.
