A lot of people are confident they could easily drive across this bridge for a chance to win $50,000. But the moment their car starts rolling onto it, fear begins to take over the wheel. This is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, one of the most unique roadways in the United States, stretching nearly 23 miles. It connects Virginia's Eastern and mainland shores through a combination of massive bridges and underwater tunnels. Just a few minutes after you start driving, the land slowly disappears behind you. All that remains is open ocean stretching as far as the eye can see. No houses, no skyscrapers, no rest stops, just water in every direction, making many drivers feel as if they're cruising through the middle of the ocean. On cloudy or misty days, the view becomes even more dramatic. But the feature that made this place famous is still ahead. As you're driving above the water, you suddenly notice the roadway beginning to descend, and instead of continuing across a bridge, you drive straight into a tunnel beneath the bay. Just minutes ago, you were traveling on top of the water. Now you're moving underneath it. Many people consider this one of the most unforgettable drives in America. Others say experiencing it once was more than enough. What about you? Would you feel excited driving through the middle of the ocean, or a little uneasy when you can't see land anywhere around you? Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. This is the bridge that makes thousands of drivers nervous every time they cross it.
