Friday, October 14 2022 it’s a good thing I wasn’t chewing gum!!
For our trek south before turning west, I wanted to drive over the Chesapeake Bridge, it goes over and under the entrance to Chesapeake Bay. From what I read on line, I thought the toll was going to be $13 but the lady at the toll booth asked if I had single or duel wheels in the back. \u00a0I said duel, her response was that’ll be $21. If I had been chewing gum I probably would have choked to death on it.
The above water part was fine, 2 lane doing 55mph. You would think that if they are going to spend the money they would do it right. But no, the tunnel portion was 2 lane, that’s ok BUT they were very narrow meeting semi’s and trailers was NO fun!!! With it being a toll road, meaning money’s not a real issue, I don’t know why they didn’t make the lanes wide enough to meet a big truck without making new indentions in the steering wheel. I mean who’s non brilliant idea was that? Lets just say the tunnel was not relaxing and tested your nerve about keeping up speed. Ok I just looked it up, the 17.6 mile bridge\/tunnel opened in 1964 to replace ferries that were in operation since the 1930’s.<\/p>\r\n
