This $3.8-billion Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel transportation megaproject includes building twin two-lane bored tunnels west of the existing eastbound tunnel and widening landside four-lane sections in Hampton and Norfolk. Between now and the estimated completion date of November 2025, F&R will be providing Construction Materials Testing on the embankment fill, aggregate base, concrete, asphalt, and steel, as well as performing QC Inspections for bridge, roadway, and building construction.
The new twin tunnels will be approximately 50 ft. deeper than the current Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnels and will be constructed using a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM). The diameter of each new tunnel will be approximately 45 feet, creating the second-largest tunnel opening for a TBM in North America.
F&R is excited to be serving alongside the Design-Build Team, including the Hampton Roads Connector Partners (HRCP), a joint venture consisting of Dragados USA, Flatiron Constructors, Vinci Construction, and Dodin Campenon Bernard. HDR and Mott MacDonald are the lead designers.
