The company that handles tunnel toll operations for South Hampton Roads selected a new CEO.
Anna Bonet was promoted to lead Elizabeth River Crossings after outgoing CEO David Sullivan announced his retirement plans earlier this month, according to a Wednesday announcement.
“I remain committed to continuing efforts that serve our local communities well and building on already constructive and mutually beneficial relationships with VDOT and local elected and appointed officials,” Bonet said.
Bonet joined the company in September as deputy CEO. During her time in that position, she helped implement a $3.2 million expansion of the company’s toll relief program, which will save some residents as much as $650 annually. Prior to that, she held various roles at Abertis, the majority owner of Elizabeth River Crossings.
Sullivan had announced his retirement plans on Jan. 18 after a 50-year career and almost five years with Elizabeth River Crossings. The company operates the Downtown and Midtown tunnels and the Martin Luther King Freeway extension.
Born and raised in Spain, Bonet speaks English, Spanish, French and Italian. She lives in Virginia Beach with her husband and three children.
