Dear Vacationers,
We are pleased to announce that he NC DOT has finalized the plan for a bridge to Corolla. The bridge would connect just south of Coinjock on the mainland to a point near the Corolla Bay subdivision in Corolla (just north of Getaway Place.) With these endpoints, the bridge would cut approximately 1 hour out of the drive. The project is projected for completion in 2016. Toll rates for the bridge are still being decided.
The Virginian Pilot ran an article on the bridge just a few days ago: http://hamptonroads.com/2011/02/toll-plaza-would-be-outside-town
A map of the proposed route is here.
