Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel

The HRBT is a 12 mile stretch of I-64 connecting Hampton and Norfolk across the lower Chesapeake Bay. In addition to the above company projects, our own Frank Roark served as Principal Project Engineer on this 1999 HRBT conversion from TOMAC to NewTON, and the associated installation of graphical operator's console displays, and a LED map board. Since MODCOMP® components of the TOMAC SYSTEM were eliminated in the installation of this system, design of a new GTIS interface was an integral part of the project. This project was completed in 1999.
