Include these points when you contact Governor Easely:

  • Please replace the Bonner Bridge with the long bridge by-passing Pea Island.
  • The long bridge is safer, more reliable, cost effective and more environmentally sound than the short bridge options.
  • It makes no sense to split the road leading to the bridge from the bridge – you can't have one without the other. The long bridge is the only sound long-term solution to the transportation needs of the Outer Banks.
  • The long bridge is safer because it doesn't rely on the troubled NC-12, which regularly gets washed over by sand, preventing people from evacuating.
  • The agencies can quickly finalize their permits if the existing long bridge option is selected, expediting construction.
