Va 511 is WRONG!!!
It said no traffic on Route 64 and the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel! There is a 4 mile backup east bound at HRBT. 1 mile backup at the bottle neck past Jefferson west bound. 2 mile back up east bound due to accident at Jefferson.
The bit above was posted from my phone while sitting in traffic at the bottle neck. I called 511 to check traffic while on 264 in Virginia Beach as I was heading up the to the MINI Guiness World Record attempt.
The event, which didnt break the record unfortunately, drew about 130 MINIs and was a lot of fun. I will get some pictures of the event up when I have time to go through them.
The trip home was even worse.... stop and go starting west of Williamsburg. A 6.5 mile back up at the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. 2.5 mile back up at the Monitor Merrimac. So I hopped off the interstate and drove down Jefferson Ave to go to Trader Joe's. Then took the James River Bridge for a more scenic and peaceful ride home.

That's why we took the MMBT on the way back from Water Country USA yesterday. We didn't have a choice going up there, though. The back up was to right after the 564 interchange. I hope your iPod is loaded with good tunes!! :)
