Rumors are swirling that the Mid Currituck Bridge will begin construction in 2009. This sounds like great news for home owners and vacationers of Corolla. There might be nothing worse than starting your vacation stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.
The proposed bridge should definitely work to alleviate much of the traffic currently coming over the Wright Memorial Bridge. The bridge when complete should make getting to places like Corolla Light or Villages at Ocean Hill, much, much easier. The time savings for everyone looks to be incredible.
The amazing thing about the Mid Currituck Bridge is it looks to be North Carolina's first PPP, public private partnerships. Here is what the NC Turnpike Authority says about PPP, "With a PDA the NCTA will procure a development partner consisting of investors, designers, and construction contractors early in the project delivery process. At the completion of NEPA, NCTA will negotiate with the chosen partner for the design, construction, financing, operations, and maintenance of the project.
