Look at the number of semi trucks in that footage. Railway tracks would knock a whole lot of traffic from the roads, and knowing that many are coming from NEC (north east corridor) and the growing megalopolis just south of Virginia, rail lines would take a lot of vehicles off the road also.

You're absolutely right! Rail freight could be a game-changer for reducing road congestion and emissions in the region. The HRBT Expansion is a crucial step in addressing the immediate traffic issues, but exploring long-term solutions like rail freight is definitely worth considering. Thank you for your comment.

Would it make more traffic because more people are willing to travel.

This video is a big disappointment. It was more of a public service announcement than talking about the project. You repeated the same information several times. I thought this video would be about the actual construction and progress. As I said_ big disappointment.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you found the video disappointing. Our goal was to provide a comprehensive overview of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion, including its history and significance, with some updates on the construction and deadlines.

This video had so much air, it was a big disappointment. It's like hearing some government explain a 30sec. Answer in 2hrs just to fill space.
