A long-awaited massive transportation overhaul aimed at decreasing congestion between the Peninsula and the Southside and providing easier access to the region’s ports and military facilities is moving forward, though it’s not yet decided if that project will include a third crossing.
Hampton Roads residents have until Sept. 19 to weigh in on whether they’d like to see the project include a third crossing, or whether they think adding lanes to the existing Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel or Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel would do enough to ease congestion.
Pat Stearns, who runs a business in Hampton and lives in Norfolk, said something needs to be done to make it easier to cross the water.
