Why are improvements to the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel not included?
Improvements to the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (HRBT) have not been included in the MPO’s transportation plans since the 1990s. Eleven alternatives were studied, including widening the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (HRBT). On July 16, 1997, the MPO selected the Third Crossing as the preferred alternative for improving transportation between the Southside and Peninsula.
