Mimosa Bridge Replacement Project

 

If you live in the Pine Knoll Shores, NC area, you need to know that the Mimosa Bridge Replacement Project is now underway!  Signs are now posted for a detour of vehicular traffic, effective today 3/12/2012, from the intersection of Mimosa Boulevard and NC Highway 58 for the replacement of Mimosa Bridge. Access to Mimosa Bridge from Highway 58 will be closed. If you are a boater in the area, you will also need to learn different routes to navigate the canals.  Fortunately, there are more ways than one to get to Bogue Sound!

The project is expected to be completed in late May, and will be wonderful when finished.  There will be a walking path over the bridge, providing more safety for walkers in the area, and the bridge will also be about 10' higher than the bridge is now, which will allow more clearance for boaters!  For more information about the project, visit www.townofpks.com.

VERY cool! The little bit of inconvenience will soon be forgotten when the new bridge is in place!

Amy, we had a local bridge reconstructed a few years ago. When they announced it was to be done and would take 3 years we thought it would never end. However, its done and much better, and worth the wait.

Amy, progress and safety have their penalty, but hopefully there will be fresh orange juice in May when it's completed. BYOB

What a great way to provide information that locals will need.  And it is attractively presented and easy to read.  Nice job!

Joni - Yep! The best news is that there are lots of side streets to get to the same places!

Ellen - I'm sure there will be a few complaints..... but it will be nice when completed!

Ed - I'll squeeze the Orange Juice myself ;0)  

Nick - You and Ed have great minds..... Like I said, I'll squeeze the orange juice myself!  Cheers!

Mimi - Thanks!  I can't tell you how many cars I watched turn on their signals to turn onto Mimosa yesterday, to find they couldn't.... Hopefully, it will save some folks a few minutes of turning around to hit the side streets :0)  We had to go into MLS and change all of our directions to our properties yesterday!  It will be nice in the end!

Yesterday I meandered around town taking side roads and actually seeing some things I have not seen in a while thanks to the detour.  Can't wait for the new bridge. Great blog Amy!

Mom - I can't wait either.... IT is going to be wonderful for all the "Walkers".....

Nick - I am so disappointed :0( but Soccer Season Calls!  It actually looks like we may be in the Atlanta Area in July (fingers crossed), and our plan is do a little camping and visiting with folks at the same time..... Maybe then (if not before) we will get to see you !
