  • Monitor Merrimac Memorial Bridge Tunnel: I-664 Under James River (#11)
    Tunnels Monitor Merrimac Memorial Bridge Tunnel: I-664 under James River (#11) Hampton Roads District Age: 26 Years Tunnel Condition: Fair Approach Bridge Condition: Fair ADT = 62,000 Detour: 27 Miles Monitor Merrimac Memorial Bridge Tunnel – Supplemental Information The Monitor Merrimac Memorial Bridge Tunnel (MMMBT) is a 4.6‐mile‐long combination bridge‐tunnel crossing the James River carrying Interstate 664 in the southeastern portion of Virginia. The MMMBT connects the independent cities of Newport News on the Virginia Peninsula and Suffolk in South Hampton Roads. It is a four‐lane bridge‐tunnel composed of trestles, two (2) man‐made portal islands, one (1) tunnel under a portion of the Hampton Roads Harbor, and 3.2 miles (5.1km) of twin trestle. The northbound and southbound roadways each consist of two lanes of traffic. Tunnel construction started in 1988 and was completed in 1992. The twin bore tunnel is 4,800 feet long from portal to portal, and it is constructed of reinforced concrete inside a large, fabricated steel plate form. It was built by the immersed tube method, comprised of 15 prefabricated segments. Each segment is 300 feet long, 80 feet wide, 40 feet high, and weighs 28,000 tons. The segments were placed by lay‐barges and joined together in a trench dredged in the bottom of the harbor, and backfilled over with earth. The tunnel has two bores, with each bore carrying a two‐lane highway consisting of the northbound and southbound roadways. The traffic lanes in the tunnel are 13 feet wide, with an approximate 2.5‐foot‐wide sidewalk along the left travel lane and an approximate 1.4‐footwide ledge along the right travel lane, and with 16.5 feet of vertical clearance from the roadway to the ceiling.

  • INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND the Hampton Roads Planning District
    INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND The Hampton Roads Planning District Commission staff has performed a comprehensive regional travel time study approximately every five years since the first travel time study for South Hampton Roads was produced in 1983. The first regional travel time study for the Peninsula was published in 1992. Data collection for the travel time studies prior to 2000 was performed using vehicle equipped with a portable computer and a calibrated distance-measuring instrument. The 2000 and 2005 updates to the travel time study series used global positioning system (GPS) technology for data collection and geographic information system (GIS) technology for data analysis. For this study, travel time data was collected on approximately 1,300 miles of roadway, including all of the thoroughfares that make up the Congestion Management System for Hampton Roads. Hampton Roads Regional Travel Time has traditionally been distributed in multiple reports. The Trip Profile Summaries report contains travel time summary profiles for approximately 1,300 miles of roadway in Hampton Roads, as generated by the GPS/GIS system. This report is distributed electronically, in the form of a CD-ROM, and will also be made available on the HRPDC website. Other reports in the Regional Travel Time series include trip profile summaries for previous study years, travel time contour maps for selected activity centers, and analyses of the travel time data and trends. For the purposes of this study the travel time roadway network was divided into 336 segments of varying lengths. One data collection run was made in each direction during the morning and afternoon peak hours for each segment.
