As a military brat born on Fort Eustis army hospital Newport News Va. I remember going through that tunnel at a very young age many times.

And now at the tender age of 64, I can still remember every time we went through it without fail, it was always leaking somewhere, usually in several places.

A little unnerving, even as a 6 y/o. 😏

It will be 10 billion by the time it is done. They should hire Musk’s Boring Company.

I am always amazed at the construction of underwater tunneling. A fascination technology that just keeps getting better.

Regardless if the cost, it is miniscule compared to the money that will be generated through time saving travel through the years. In 10 years we as a nation have wasted almost a trillion dollars on wasteful climate change eco friendly crap that has amounted to nothing but driving up the cost of living for every American in the country.
