Whether you're curious about how the world works, want to know more about careers in the Dirt World, or have some crazy kids who love watching machines work, we hope you enjoy the channel! What is BuildWitt? We're making the Dirt World better every day through field-first software, our annual Ariat Dirt World Summit leadership event, and the storytelling you see here.

Video Description

Welcome to the HRBT, or Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel expansion, the largest project in Virginia's history. To ease congestion along the I64 corridor between Newport News and Norfolk, a joint venture between FlatironDragados, Vinci Construction, and Dodin Campenon Bernard, AKA Hampton Roads Connector Partners, is building another two lanes in both directions, doubling the current capacity. While much of the project is above ground, with bridge and road expansion work, the centerpiece is the twin tunnels under the navigation channel leading to the world's largest naval base. And that's what we do a deep dive into with today's video! To learn more about the project, check out the links below! https://hrbtexpansion.vdot.virginia.gov/ https://www.fdcorp.com/en/projects/tunneling/hampton-roads-bridge-and-tunnel
