🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel trestles and nearby named shoals • How nautical charts label shoals, channels, and anchorages in the lower Chesapeake Bay • Geographic position of Lynnhaven Roads, Tail of the Horseshoe, Chesapeake Shoal, and Middle Ground relative to the CBBT

💭 Think About

• On a chart, which named shoal actually lies under or is directly spanned by Trestle B, not just nearby? • Which of the four names is clearly associated with the offshore shoal area near the bridge-tunnel, rather than an anchorage, bay, or roadstead? • If you trace the CBBT from north to south on a chart, what feature name is printed where Trestle B crosses a shallow area?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify on a current nautical chart (NOAA or ECS) exactly which shoal name is printed under or adjacent to Trestle B • Confirm the difference between a shoal name and an area like Lynnhaven Roads (a roadstead/anchorage) • Check that the feature you select is clearly labeled as a shoal and not a channel, roadstead, or generic area name
