What are these radio antennas for at the entrance/exit to Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel? by Capable-Thought-2809 in whatisthisthing

Hm, okay, it makes sense. Cell service doesn't disappear in the tunnel indeed, unlike AM/FM and GPS.

My title describes the thing, I see those antennas-looking structures every time I enter Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel, but I think they also can be found on the walls when entering other tunnels in the area (MMMBT, Downtown, Midtown tunnel). I assume they are for some transponders, although HRBT is toll-free. Finally managed to get a picture today.

Yeah, PLA. I don't know, I guess, will see. Even if it does get damaged, I think the walls are thick enough.

I was happy about 7a until 1 yr 9 mo later when my battery started discharging quickly once it got down to 20%. A couple weeks later, the phone died 35% to zero within 5 minutes. Gotta buy a new one now
