Master Piece

This bridge is half under the water, for ships to pass and then again, it comes out on the other side.   Truly a marvelous piece of engineering!

Comments from ARC'ers.............it seems this isn't a bridge between Sweden and Denmark.....

As a 22 year resident of Norfolk, Virginia with most of that time spend on warships steaming in and out of port and rest of the time trying to drive around the water obstacles. Let me tell you what your Danish-Swedish bridge really is. The map is of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge tunnel that spans the mouth of the bay from Cape Henry to Cape Charles. It was completed in the early 1960s and carries highway US 13. Most of the pictures are of the Monitor-Merrimac Bridge Tunnel, built in the late 1980's. It spans the James River from Newport News to Suffolk and carries I-664. There are also two pictures of the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel that spans the roadstead from Hampton at Fort Monroe to Willoughby Spit in Norfolk by the Naval Station; it carries I-64.

----------------------------------

This is a bridge-tunnel from the tip of the Delmarva peninsula to the Norfolk, VA, area -- the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel -- and it's been there for years! In the middle, the tunnel resurfaces and there's an "island" where you can pull over and walk around, have a snack, and then move on.

The picture you posted of the bridge and tunnel? You got it wrong. You said it was between Denmark and Sweden, but it's not. First clue, the American flag in the fifth picture. Second clue, the postcard? Says Chesepeake beach. Third clue, I used to live there. That's the Chesepeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, down near Virginia Beach, Va.
