Newport News Middle Ground Light

Newport News Middle Ground Light is a lighthouse near the Monitor–Merrimac Memorial Bridge–Tunnel (MMMBT) on Interstate 664 in Hampton Roads.

The lighthouse was also downgraded along with these changes; the Coast Guard reclassified it as a "second class tall nun buoy".

In 1979, the now unstaffed light was struck by a tugboat, and an inspection in 1982 showed serious damage to the first floor gallery and leaks into the foundation.

In 2000, the beacon was returned to the interior of the lantern, and the characteristic changed to red in order to make it more visible against the bridge's lights.

There were no takers, and it was put up for auction and purchased by the Billingsley and Gonsoulin families with a final bid of $31,000.
