Construction crane falls into water near Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel

The crane fell in the area of the expansion project at the HRBT. The operator was okay, and the only damage was to the crane.

NORFOLK, Va. — A construction crane fell into the water next to the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Tuesday morning.

A spokesperson for the HRBT told reporter Bethany Reese it "walked off" the barge. The operator is okay, and there's reportedly no damage to anyone or anything but the crane. 

The spokesperson said drivers may see the equipment in the water, but not to worry. 

The crane is part of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel expansion project, which aims to widen the bridge-tunnel from two to four lanes in each direction by 2025.

At 8:20 a.m., the crane was still in the water, and crews were working to remove it.
