City advice
Getting around
Tunnel Traffic
When traveling to Norfolk of Virginia Beach. Check traffic condition. There are two ways to go on I64, HRBT and MMT. HRBT quicker but usually backed up. The tunnels in Norfolk require easy pass to get through or picture on license for a fee. High rise bridge in Chesapeake under construction.
