I do think they kind of ruined it by making the new span not a twin of the old, original span though.
nope not joking. Ive talked to people before and they so 'oh the one in Virginia?' (talking bout the Ches. bay bridge tunnel) and i say 'no the ches. bay bridge near annapolis' and they so 'no never heard of it'. I mean people in the region know of it but it feels like no one else does. i have this book on bridges with this bridge on the cover and the author lables it as the ches. bay bridge/Tunnel in VA. i disagree that they ruined it though, it looks much better now IMHO
