Recent Travel into / out of Norfolk, VA?

[TimD]

We are planning a trip which includes a possible stop in Virginia Beach.

We understand the Hampton Roads Tunnel on I-64 has been and is under major construction.  We drove through there in 2024 and it was kinda hairy.

Has anyone been through there recently pulling their Ollie?

Thanks

Tim

Recently? No, but I lived in Hampton VA, late 70s through the early 80s and knew the area and every road in Hampton Roads/Tidewater!  🤣

We often took the James River Bridge, though a dangerous 5-mile long low flat bridge, yet such a beautiful a drive! On a trip back from Florida we saw a van swerve, hit the guardrail and go in the drink, RIP!

If you happen this way, take a short detour and swing by Smithfield, buy a special ham!

There's a new road that wasn't there back in the day, I-664 looks like a decent I-64 alternate to get to VA Beach. I have not traveled this route.

VA Beach has become a busy place, but walk the boardwalk, nicer along the north end of town, all the way up to Cape Henry. If I was to go all that way AGAIN... I'd have to head south the the Outer Banks and boondock on the shore, or the sound, for sure! 😎
