Is the Third Crossing required for the marine terminal?
No. The Third Crossing is a regional transportation project that would relieve congestion on the existing Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (HRBT). The Craney Island Marine Terminal will be constructed with a road and rail connection to State Route 164 and the median rail corridor. The Third Crossing is planned to tie-in to the Craney Island Road and Rail connection some time in the future, further enhancing regional mobility.
