Mid-County Currituck Bridge Scheduled To Start February Or March - 10/19/09 09:46 AM
The Virginia Pilot reported today that construction on the Mid-County Currituck Bridge is scheduled to begin in February or March next year. While there are still many details to work out it is seems that after 20 years the bridge will finally get built. Once completed, scheduled for 2013, the bridge will help ease the summer traffic coming onto the Outer Banks for everyone. Those tourists traveling to Corolla will save at least an hour of travel time if not more by using the bridge. For many it will be a huge sigh of relief when this bridge is finally done.

He was able to take is own personal experience and capture it by writing a book titled"Ed ... It Was Malignant". The book talks about the struggles Ed endured and the great … (2 comments)

Corolla Getting New Bike Trail - 10/02/09 09:40 AM

It's great that Corolla is finally getting a bike trail. I see so many people walking and biking along Hwy 12 and it is very dangerous. The roads are curvy with lots of blind spots so this trail will help keep the locals and tourists safe. After all the money the government has wasted over the last few years of bailouts I am glad to see that at least some of it is going to good use.
