Protect our wetlands, water, wildlife & people. We live a quiet life here, it needs to be protected! The people on the northern outer banks knew of all the inconvenience before they bought those properties. What about our horses? They already fight for survival increased traffic will hurt them more. We bought here for the serenity & lack of noise. Please help us!!!!

The bridge is a disgrace, destroying the swamp and is nothing but a money grab. It does nothing for the residents of Currituck County and especially the ones that live here in Aydlett

This bridge would have longstanding negative effects to the peace and serenity of the Aydlett mainland, as well as the Currituck beaches. A bridge of this magnitude would further destroy hunting and fishing that Currituck is so well known for. Currituckers know how to manipulate the traffic in the heaviest of times. It’s always more enjoyable to go by boat to Duck, Corolla, or Cordova. My vote is no to the bridge

As a lifelong resident of Aydlett, I strongly disagree with the bridge. It will only back traffic up in a different location of the county; not help resolve it.

NO Bridge! This is a tourist town and it's NOT Needed 9 mo out of the year. The damage done to the shallow sound would be detrimental to the echo system. The filth from traffic for 3 mo. Congestion in the tiny towns of Coinjock and Barco. Back Roads can not support the traffic. Families have lived in Aydlett for generations. The wild horses already are feeling the effects of a greedy government. NO Bridge!

The ponies have been there longer than the people pushing this sooo unwanted or needed bridge! That and the longtime residents faced with losing their homes via Eminent Domain is unforgivable!! A clear case of money talks and the rest of us are left to deal with it.

This bridge is not needed. The horses will be removed from the beach after this. The water will be polluted. The swamp which is home to many different animals, is being destroyed. Our homes, and our peace, is being taken from us. Aydlett will never be the same. If a new bridge is going to be put in this county it would benefit Knotts Island. Kids would have access to schools, parks, and county services, by removing the Ferry and running bridge from ferry dock to a ramp for Knotts Islanders and then to the south of the ramp. This is still going to cause a backup on both sides. The bridge would be longer and cost more, but not destroy our homes and the homes of many animals in the swamp.

This bridge is not needed for 16 weekends a year if you don’t want to sit in traffic on Saturday and Sunday just stay off the road go out in your boat.

I am strongly against the Mid Currituck Bridge for these reasons. I do not believe that the bridge will achieve any of the goals promoted since the bridges conception. Firstly, most of the traffic concerns during the twelve weeks of summer through lower Currituck and back north through Duck and has been significantly reduced by adding Friday as a check-in day to the traditional Saturday and Sunday. There will always be heavy traffic to the Outer Banks whether the back up and long delays are above Aydlett and Coinjock, (which will cause even greater delays to vacationers traveling south of Kitty Hawk) or at the route 12 intersection delays will happen on certain holiday weekends during the summer months. Secondly, It is my understanding that a side by side simulated emergency evacuation took place which showed only a few hours difference in the time it takes to evacuate the area ahead from an oncoming storm. And as we all know these mandatory evacuations are given days in advance of the impending emergency. Finally, I keep seeing the bridge path to extend from the mainland in Aydlett going directly across the sound into the Whalehead neighborhood, but the path has been revised, I'm sure because the Whalehead community didn't want the bridge to cause further congestion to their community, now to extend 3.5 to 4 miles farther south and enter into the area of the Corolla Food Lion and nearby stores and restaurants. I do not know how this added several fold congestion will be handled by this area either. Both northbound and southbound traffic will be at a standstill for many miles until enough of the involved vacationers reach their destinations. This added several miles will also add significantly to the bridges cost and offer no solutions for any traffic concerns. In addition to these reasons, what about the businesses that will be completely bypassed in both southern Currituck and Kitty Hawk and Duck too. I believe that a project that will cost North Carol

This bridge will destroy our small community, further pollute Currituck Sound which,and destroy wildlife habitat. Not to mention it will be difficult to get emergency service.

Don’t ruin my home, I’m a 4th generation Aydlett that still resides in Aydlett, it’s supposed to be a quiet, warming, sportsman’s paradise. There is a reason it has been in dispute for over 60+ years. Keep true to currituck and stop the over development, we have always thrived as a small town, and im sure there are plenty that agree.
