Outer Banks Road Project Cancelled | Virginia Beach News
Description
A major road project at the U.S. 158 and N.C. 12 intersection in the Outer Banks was scrapped after overwhelming public opposition—nearly 90% of feedback opposed it. With $36 million on the table, the funds may now shift to other projects, including one in Perquimans County that’s now competing for limited resources. Ten counties are rallying lawmakers in Raleigh, stressing that critical infrastructure like the Mid-Currituck Bridge—costing up to $2 billion—far outpaces current funding through the state’s transportation program. They’re urging a reevaluation of how rural areas, vital to North Carolina’s tourism economy, get funded for essential safety and transit needs.
