HRBT Expansion: The megaproject under America's military gateway
Norfolk, Virginia — home to the world’s largest naval base and first ever bridge-tunnel — is now the setting for one of the most comprehensive construction projects in the entire US. It’s called the HRBT Expansion, and its goal is to abolish a major bottleneck on Interstate 65 as it crosses a critical shipping lane for the US Navy, which has been a big problem for decades.
Combining intricate bridge-building, land reclamation, highway transformation and a one-of-a-kind tunnel boring machine all in one go, this $4BN scheme might just be a sign that America is still capable of jaw-dropping feats of engineering after all.
