The Mid-Currituck Bridge is moving towards becoming a reality. But it's going to be a long road (literally) from start to finish. We'll do everything we can to help provide answers, clarity and facts along the way.
Total length of project
Estimated total project cost
Estimated travel time
The Mid-Currituck Bridge will substantially reduce evacuation times from the Outer Banks for residents and visitors who use US 158 and NC 168 as an evacuation route.
The bridge will provide much faster transport times for Currituck Emergency Medical Services’ ambulances and a more direct route for police officers to respond to 911 calls.
The MCB will reduce the severity and duration of traffic congestion on summer weekends. According to the Record of Decision, the length of the congested period would drop from 13 to 15 hours to 7 to 12 hours.
Benefits to mainland Currituck County could include a boom in retail, restaurants and hospitality. The MCB could spur a mix of commercial and business development similar to that in Dare County in the area surrounding the bridge.
