US-13/460/58 is the system of roads that connect Chesapeake to Suffolk and provide service to other parts of the state. US-13 connects to Northeastern North Carolina; US-460 connects to Petersburg; US-58 connects to Emporia and Southside Virginia. VA-168, also known as the Chesapeake Express way (or bypass to locals) provides service to south Chesapeake and to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and is the only toll road in the Hampton Roads area. The toll for the Express way is located on the border between Virginia and North Carolina, travellers are not obligated to pay the toll unless they stay on the road that goes through the toll station.
