Barge hits Va bridge-tunnel, causes minor damag

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel suffered minor damage when it was hit by a barge.
    Spokeswoman Debbie Cooley said one barge hit the bridge-tunnel’s middle trestle at 6:20 a.m. Monday. No injuries were reported.
    Authorities had said earlier that two barges hit the bridge-tunnel.
    Several southbound lanes were closed while crews assessed the damage, causing a 2.5-mile traffic backup. Cooley says all lanes have reopened.
    The bridge-tunnel connects Virginia’s Eastern Shore with the mainland at Virginia Beach.
