Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel

that should be on everyone's bucket list.

Have to disagree with this. Some people just get too nervous in these situations. My husband had difficulty due to the spacing of the lights-it made him very dizzy as he was driving. Although it's rare, there are some people who may be affected.

We travel this route several times a year, heading north just past RIGHT toll booth you can pull over and shut off propane and a vistor center on north side. We use EZPass($32 36ft wtoad). If you are a good size RV don't use the restaurant, if a Little crowded you can't turn around. Nice ride but watch your speed in the little towns

The CBBT is crossed hundreds of times a day by RVs, campers and trucks of every stripe. So long as you meet the height restriction, you will be fine. It's one of those road trips that should be on everyone's bucket list. Yeah, it's not Highway 101 on the PCH or Grand Canyon's north rim, but it is quite the spectacular engineering marvel. The roads are divided for much of the journey, only going through the two 1-mile tunnels are you back on one-lane-in-each-direction.

Seagull Island, about seven or so miles up from Virginia Beach, is an OK stop, but can be problematic in a large RV - its entrance is off the southern end of the tunnel there, and makes for an interesting U-turn as you prepare to leave and head north again.

The best times to cross, IMO, are early in the AM and late in the evening, to see the sunrises and sunsets.

26 minutes long and he hits a heavy rain storm.

We've been back and forth a few times. No problems....a little nerve wracking the first time when a semi came through the other way, but now we feel comfortable. They will remind you about turning off your propane, but usually don't stop you to check. We use EZ Pass.

they do accept ez pass too

Be sure to have CASH for the tool booths. You will have to shut valves on propane tanks. There is a pulloff to do that, and a rest area on the north side where you can stop to turn them back on.

No real issues just beware of wind restrictions. They do not occur often but they can prohibit RV traffic if winds are too strong.

You will have to shut off your propane tanks before entering the bridge/tunnel. This is required.

Hi--we use it every year on our trip to FL. IT IS GREAT! One of the highlights of our trip south each year. They will ask you if your propane is shut off before you enter. There is a scenic overlook about halfway across and there is also a gift shop and restaurant. Be mindful of the position of the sun as driving across with the sun in your eyes while it dances on the water can be aggrevating. Try it--you'll like it!
