The HRBT connects the independent cities of Hampton on the Virginia Peninsula and Norfolk in South Hampton Roads. It is a four‐lane bridge‐tunnel composed of 1.8 miles of trestles, two manmade portal islands, and two tunnels under the Hampton Roads Harbor. The westbound and eastbound roadways each consist of two lanes of traffic. The original HRBT (WB) was opened to bi‐directional traffic in 1957 and connected Route 60 (now I‐64) in Hampton with Route 60 in Norfolk as a toll facility. In 1976, the second HRBT (EB) was opened to eastbound traffic. With construction of the second tunnel, tolls were removed and the original 1957 tunnel now carries Westbound I‐64 traffic from Norfolk to Hampton. Built by the immersed tube method, the tunnel was constructed of 300+/‐ foot long prefabricated tubes that were placed by lay‐barges and joined together in a trench dredged in the bottom of the harbor, and backfilled with earth. The Eastbound Tunnel consists of 21 prefabricated tubes. The Eastbound and Westbound Tunnels are separate structures, each of carries a two‐lane highway.

    A Peaceful Place, LLC Business Plan Page 1 1.0 Executive Summary LINK of Hampton Roads Inc., has provided services to the greater Virginia Peninsula since December 8, 1990. LINK offers a combination of services to the community at large in the form of community-based social services to include a Veterans Medical Respite home for up to 5 persons; Veterans Emergency Shelter for up to 7 persons; emergency winter shelter for up to 550 persons during a 20 week period, annually; permanent supportive housing for homeless persons with physical, mental or emotional disabilities for up to 105 persons in 67 rental units located at scattered site rentals throughout the peninsula. Market research from Riverside, Sentara and Mary Immaculate hospitals and local hospice service providers indicates that there is a significant need for quality home hospice care and social services within the central Peninsula region and we believe that by employing competent and well-educated staff and providing them with organized and responsive management, we can become the home hospice care provider for central and lower peninsula. LINK of Hampton Roads Inc., has formed A Peaceful Place LLC, overseen and run by LINK’s Executive Director and Board of Directors located in Newport News, Virginia. A Peaceful Place Hospice Home will be housed in an appropriate single-family home with four to five individual bedrooms and bathrooms, and overseen by a separate committee of local community members comprising of doctors, social workers, chaplains, and other interested volunteer members of the community. Riverside, Mary Immaculate and Sentara Hospitals have been approached and are engaged in discussion with LINK’s Executive Director and Board Members and who are anticipated to serve as a referral basis for A Peaceful Place.

    York County Virginia th Commemorates the Sesquicentennial Anniversary of the American150 Civil War 1862 - 2012 Big Bethel To Fort Magruder Looking West on Main Street, Yorktown, 1862 Photo courtesy of Library of Congress Greetings The Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission was created during the 2006 Session of the General Assembly for the purpose of planning for and commemorating the 150th anniversary of Virginia’s participation in the American Civil War, the duration of which will be 2011 through 2015. Each locality was asked to form a local committee to begin planning for the four-year, statewide commemoration period. In early 2009, the York County Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Committee was formed and, on June 2, 2009, the York County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution supporting the State Commission and its work to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the American Civil War in Virginia. The resolution also stipulated that York County would join with the neighboring jurisdictions to support the organizational principles and statement of purpose for the Historic Triangle Civil War Committee as set forth to guide the commemoration in America’s Historic Triangle. The Sesquicentennial Committee is composed of representatives of the following: County of York Division of Historic Services, City of Newport News National Park Service (Colonial National Historical Park) Peninsula Campaign Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy Poquoson Historical Society, Poquoson Museum and City of Poquoson United States Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Watermen’s Museum York County Historical Committee York County Historical Museum York County Historical Society Dedication The York County War Memorial lists all York County members of the military who died as a result of wars as far back as Bacon’s Rebellion (1676).

  • VA Hurricane History
    THE HURRICANE HISTORY OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN VIRGINIA Continuous weather records for the Hampton Roads Area of Virginia began on January 1, 1871 when the National Weather Service was established in downtown Norfolk. The recorded history of significant tropical storms that affected the area goes back much further. Prior to 1871, very early storms have been located in ship logs, newspaper accounts, history books, and countless other writings. The residents of coastal Virginia during Colonial times were very much aware of the weather. They were a people that lived near the water and largely derived their livelihood from the sea. To them, a tropical storm was indeed a noteworthy event. The excellent records left by some of Virginia’s early settlers and from official records of the National Weather Service are summarized below. Learning from the past will help us prepare for the future. SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES 1635 August 24 First historical reference to a major hurricane that could have affected the VA coast. 1667 September 6 It appears likely this hurricane caused the widening of the Lynnhaven River. The Bay rose 12 feet above normal and many people had to flee. 1693 October 29 From the Royal Society of London, There happened a most violent storm in VA which stopped the course of ancient channels and made some where there never were any. 1749 October 19 Tremendous hurricane. A sand spit of 800 acres was washed up and with the help of a hurricane in 1806 it became Willoughby Spit. The Bay rose 15 feet above normal. Historical records list the following tropical storms as causing significant damage in Virginia: September 1761; October 1761; September 1769; September 1775; October 1783; September 1785; July 1788.

  • Archaeological Survey of the Chesapeake Bay Shorelines Associated with Accomack County and Northampton County, Virginia
    ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY SHORELINES ASSOCIATED WITH ACCOMACK COUNTY AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA VOLUME I By: Darrin Lowery Manuscript Prepared For: The Virginia Department of Historic Resources Portsmouth Regional Preservation Office 612 Court Street Portsmouth, VA 23704 March 2001 ii ABSTRACT This report summarizes the results of an archaeological survey conducted along the Chesapeake Bay shorelines of both Accomack County and Northampton County, Virginia. Accomack and Northampton counties represent the southernmost extension of the Delmarva Peninsula. The study area encompasses the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. A shoreline survey was conducted along the Chesapeake Bay to gauge the erosion threat to the archaeological resources situated along the shoreline. Archaeological sites along shorelines are subjected to numerous natural processes. Aside from erosion, some of the natural processes influencing shoreline related cultural resources include coastal inundation, prehistoric aeolian processes, bioturbation, recent coastal dune formations, chemical processes within tidal marshes, redeposition, and surface “sheet-erosion” or deflation. These natural processes greatly influence the success of an archaeological survey and what data are collected, noted, and observed while conducting a survey. Summaries associated with these natural processes are presented in this report. The report also offers examples, using Delmarva Peninsula archaeological data, which illustrate how these natural processes influence and limit the interpretive value of single analysis or one-time archaeological survey surface data. As a “double-blind” test, the actual locations and cultural chronologies associated with previously recognized and recorded sites were not collected prior to the completion of the survey. By not knowing the previous site data, the present shoreline survey would help assess and gauge the accuracy of the previous single “one-time” archaeological survey data.
