Portsmouth: Midtown Tunnel - EB 1
Portsmouth has served as a port city in Hampton Roads since the 18th century. Set on the western bank of the Elizabeth River, it faces Norfolk across a working tidal waterway central to the region’s maritime economy. Portsmouth is home to Norfolk Naval Shipyard, a major US Navy repair facility. The city’s road network relies on crossings beneath the river, including the Downtown and Midtown tunnels, which connect it with Norfolk and the wider urban area. Olde Towne Portsmouth preserves a compact historic district near the waterfront, while the riverfront remains closely tied to shipbuilding, naval activity and daily commuting.

Facing Norfolk across the river, it belongs to the harbor network shaped by the James, Nansemond and Elizabeth rivers as they approach Chesapeake Bay. Olde Towne Portsmouth retains streets of early American homes, churches and civic buildings, while the waterfront is home to Lightship Portsmouth, a former floating lighthouse. Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, established in 1830, reflects the city’s longstanding connection with the U.S. Navy.

Among the regions of the United States, Virginia stands out for its sweep from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay. Its varied terrain includes the Shenandoah Valley, the Piedmont of the central counties, and a long Atlantic-facing coast. Richmond, on the James River, is Virginia’s capital and a major centre of American Civil War history; farther east, Jamestown was the site of England’s first permanent settlement in North America, founded in 1607. Shenandoah National Park and its Skyline Drive trace the crest of the Blue Ridge. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Virginia.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
