[edit] History
Largely following the path of the former Cottage Toll Road, Tidewater Drive was built in the mid-1950s. The new four lane roadway featured a number of grade separated intersections and was designed to handle additional traffic anticipated with the completion of the new Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, which opened in 1957.
