The tunnels are well lit and the underwater part is short. OTOH, the US 17 bridge is long and high enough for those same ships to go under it.
Tunnels are well lit and short. Rt 17 bridge (aka James River Bridge) is tall enough for most recreational boats / 50+ footers, but is actually a draw span.

We use the tunnels often when towing, don't forget to stop at HAZMAT checkpoint, or they will stop all traffic just to pull you over at the tunnel entrance to inspect your propane valves. Don't ask me how I know this -- I just do :o
