Overnight traffic shift moves drivers onto new Deep Creek Bridge span

At approximately 3 a.m. on May 11, 2026, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers vehicle carrying the Deep Creek Bridge Replacement Project manager and senior construction inspector crosses the new bridge span for the first time in Chesapeake, Virginia, as Chesapeake police officers follow, leading traffic through the new pattern during a major traffic shift entering Phase 5 of construction. The overnight operation marked the first time vehicles traveled across the new bridge span since construction began.
