The Southern Shores Beacon is no longer in a position to research and write investigative stories. We now aspire to give our readers a heads-up on important issues and to direct them to where they may obtain more information.
For a thorough analysis of the current financial status of the Mid-Currituck Bridge, see Catherine Kozak’s excellent March 9 article in the Coastal Review, at https://coastalreview.org/2026/03/new-cost-study-puts-proposed-mid-currituck-bridge-at-1-2b/.
Ms. Kozak reports that the estimated construction costs for the bridge now “hover around $1.2 billion.”
