Funding for additional and replacement highways, bridges, and other transportation infrastructure is one of the major issues facing Chesapeake and much of the Hampton Roads region in the 21st century, as infrastructure originally built with toll revenues has aged without a source of funding to repair them or build replacements.

The growth of Chesapeake and its predecessors has been fueled by its location and transportation considerations. These continue to be major factors.
