We've come a long way! On this day (Nov. 1) in 1957 the original HRBT opened. Today, both the westbound and eastbound (1976) tunnels carry 100,000 vehicles a day during peak travel. The first immersed tube forged new opportunities and opened commerce between the Peninsula and Southside. Today the region watches as two new bored tubes are being built along side the existing tunnels to increase travel time reliability and ease congestion over the harbor. #VDOT #VDOTHR #HRCP #Flatiron #Vinci #Dragados #Engineering #Tunneling #Construction #MaryTheTBM

On November 3 at 2 a.m., Daylight Saving Time will come to an end as we set our clocks back one hour. With dusk arriving an hour sooner, traveling in darker conditions can increase the risk of vehicle crashes involving pedestrians and cyclists. Motorists, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users should be extra attentive. Read more about navigating in the dark: https://bit.ly/48oUpet

October 28 is National First Responders Day. Thank you to these highway heroes! First responders often work within inches of speeding traffic to help keep Virginia moving and our roads safe. Do your part to protect them & the next time you see flashing red, blue or amber lights, remember to #MoveOver or #SlowDown. It's the law!

Deer 🦌 are bringing sexy back and you drivers better know how to act! Mating season 💖 is on! From October to December, motorists should slow down and keep an eye out for our four-legged friends — especially at dusk and dawn — to avoid deer collisions. Remember, if you see one deer, their friend is close by 😉.
