NORFOLK, Va. — VDOT provided a look of the HRBT Expansion Project that motorists don't get a chance to see.
Sixty-five feet below the surface, Mary the Boring Tunnel is getting ready to bore another tunnel, months after she completed her first one back in June. The next tunnel will be a twin tunnel in the direction of Norfolk.
