I strongly oppose the building of the Mid-Currituck Bridge. Rather, STOP allowing new multi-family vacation homes and other facilities that encourage massive amounts of people in place with such a fragile ecology so easily destroyed by human activity. Stop ruining everything that ever made the Outer Banks special in the first place. Gross exploitation caused the problem we have there. Forward thinking will prevent the problem from getting worse. Further, the need for the bridge is limited only the the summer weekends. The expense is not commensurate with the problem. There are most certainly less expensive solutions.

Recommend: Sustain the identity of Carova and Corolla, NC - No Mid-Currituck Bridge. I live in Corolla. They've ruined the Jersey shore, Ocean City, MD, Virginia Beach, and Myrtle Beach with "entertainment and amenities" - the Mid-Currituck Bridge will change the identity of Corolla and Carova. If the bridge is built then Corolla and Carova have a good chance becoming a Myrtle Beach North. RGM

The impact and potential negative environmental effects to include the wild horses greatly outweigh the need for this bridge in my opinion.

Lived in Corolla since 1990. Love the peace and quiet. Crazy to spend that many millions to relieve traffic 12 or so days a year (turnover Saturdays during in-season).

Do not build another bridge. Stop the over development of the Outer Banks. The next thing you know they will want to build high rise hotels.

We have better things to do with our money than build a $600 millon bridge that will get traffic 10 weekends per year - this says nothing of the environmental imact and the significant way it will change that charm and carchter of the Northern Outer Banks where I live 12months of the year.

I live in kdh and work in corolla. The additional influx of more people without a road to support them would guarantee trouble. The two lane road from duck north cannot support that!

I live in Elizabeth City, and I do not want to see increased access to the Northern Outer Banks.

There are other alternatives. Keep OBX the jewel it is.

Why must we destroy ever last bit of gorgeous land in this country for the sake of our own convenience.

Some places are worth the travel. If you build the bridge, Corolla and Duck will become bedroom communities for Virginia beach. Also, crime would likely increase due to ability to "pass-through."

Scenic and peaceful Aydlett has been virtually unchanged through the decades, as a resident I would hate to see these lands and sound- views spoiled by increased traffic and its noise or a bridge spanning the beautiful sound. The cost and its detriment to the delicate eco-systems have not been fully weighed. With the rising seas and in the tragic event of a major storm it would become known as the bridge to "Nowhere".

This bridge is a BAD idea. We don't want Currituck spoiled like so many other beach communities in NC. We LIKE going there by boat! If folks want to get there faster, buy a boat.

NO BRIDGE!!! The northern shores of the OBX and the rural areas surrounding the Currituck make up some of the most beautiful natural areas I have seen in all of the continental US. In no way should we ruin this preserved area for the sake of a few selfish vacationers and locals. Keep the Currituck rural and free of greedy business men looking for a quick profit with no regard for nature.

As a resident, I oppose the bridge. I do not want a bridge built that close to residents and the traffic it will bring to our back yards. We had no problem evacuating during hurricanes. It will destroy the our tranquil setting in Corolla.

The Outer Banks is a treasure and should not be further developed by a large bridge. This is one of the last places in the United States where there is limited development and natural beauty.
