Yup, and crosses over at need once you get up north.

HRBT (radio spells it out by letters) is as you guess.  The other one is
called monitor merrimac (I-664).  13 is "cheasapeke Bay tunnel'.  FM 610 is
continual traffic but almost every radio station will have traffic reports at
peak hours.  

Peak here is:  6:30am-9:00 am then at 3:30pm-6:30pm.  There's more variation
in when folks go in so a lesser time of 'peak'.

Traffic tie-ups on both northern tunnel routes are common.  I-664 less so. 
If you time your transit for no later than 2pm outbound up North, you'll be
safe either route.  Wait til about 9am though if leaving earlier.  The main
flux is from Hampton to Norfolk in the morning then back out in afternoon.
