    • [EXPIRED] Midtown Tunnel Construction Continues, near Mile Zero, Norfolk, VA


      Other than no-wake speed, this construction should not affect navigation, but the LNM is posted for your information as you travel near Mile Zero. The Midtown Tunnel crosses the main channel of the Elizabeth River in the South Hampton Roads area of Virginia where it is one of two tunnels that link the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth.
