One bomb would close the largest naval base in the world. -- 48zip 05/21/2018 3:53PM

Tall ships, i guess also taking out a tunnel can never threaten to block -- HokieDan95 05/21/2018 2:48PM

No blocking. Same for the CBBT -- 48zip 05/21/2018 2:49PM

The Navy asked years ago to go with tunnels rather than bridges because if -- Stork 05/21/2018 3:54PM

That will be quite enough, Mr. Spud! Maybe bribes, kickbacks and Mafia pay -- HokieDan95 05/21/2018 12:39PM

Sorry, just trying to help. I tell ya, I get no respect. ** -- Spud 05/21/2018 12:46PM

The first major decision is where to build? -- Hokie CPA 05/21/2018 1:09PM

We're going to have to get a ruling from @Will Stewart on this.... -- Freddyburg Hokie 05/21/2018 1:14PM

Can't tell by looking, since we replied to different posts. LOL -- Hokie CPA 05/21/2018 1:15PM

Whoever designed the HRBT should be shot. Westbound the road curves hard -- CPRVHokie 05/21/2018 12:23PM

There's a whole lot more to a tunnel than vehicle traffic -- 48zip 05/21/2018 2:10PM

Increasing capacity by 50% has to have a positive effect. -- Hokie CPA 05/21/2018 1:14PM

I wonder if traffic volume will also increase once the project is complete. -- MP4VT2004 05/21/2018 3:02PM
