While the region's coastlines are one of our greatest assets, our close proximity to water often creates challenges for those attempting to get from one city to another. Those challenges are most acutely felt by commuters across the HRBT or Monitor Merrimack bridge tunnels, but there might be relief in sight. The Virginia Department of Transportation is in the process of reviewing options for a third water-crossing and today we'll talk with Virginia Secretary of Transportation, Aubrey Layne, about the plans being considered. We'll also get your thoughts on why light rail in Hampton Roads in proving to be such a polarizing issue. Join us live by phone 440-2655 or 800-940-2240 or connect with us on Facebook and Twitter.

Today we'll consider the ever-changing world of work, and take your calls on how long you're working each week, and from where: 440-2655 or 800-940-2240.
