Mid-Currituck Bridge

North Carolina recently passed the 2011 budget, and included in the newly passed budget is the approval for a new Outer Banks bridge – the Mid-Currituck Bridge crossing the Currituck Sound from mainland Currituck at Aydlett to Corolla on the OBX.

The proposed bridge has been in the works for years.  It is estimated that the bridge could shave about 50 miles off the drive to the Northern Outer Banks.

The bridge is estimated to cost over 650 million dollars and open in 2014, and it could cost drivers $10 to $15 each way.
