The CBBT Commission awarded the Dragados Team, a joint venture composed of Dragados USA Inc. and Schiavone Construction Company LLC, with a EUR673.75 million contract ($755,98 million) for a new tunnel to move traffic from Virginia Beach to the Eastern Shore. The new tunnel will run parallel tunnel alongside the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel at the Thimble Shoal Channel. The project will begin in October 2017 and is expected to take five years to complete. When it’s finished, the new tunnel will carry two lanes of southbound traffic and the existing tunnel will carry two lanes of northbound traffic

A TBM will excavate and build the tunnel from a large pit on Island 1 to Island 2.  As the machine excavates, the soil will be conveyed back to Island 1 for removal.  Visit http://www.cbbt.com/latest-news/cbbt-commission-awards-contract-for-the-construction-of-the-parallel-thimble-shoal-channel-tunnel/. 31/16.
