To ease traffic congestion, particularly during the vacation/hurricane season, an
alternative NCDOT is considering is to widen US 158 (to 7 lanes) from Barco south to Kitty Hawk and NC 12 north (to
4- 5 lanes) from Southern Shores through Duck. We believe this proposal would destroy the unique character of
the Outer Banks for residents and THE ALTERNATIVE! A safer and more cost-effective choice
for easing traffic congestion is to build the two lane, 4.7 mile, Mid-Currituck Sound Bridge. This bridge would span
the sound from the mainland to the northern beaches in Currituck County. WHAT CAN YOU DO? 1. Join the BB-PR and volunteer to help with its activities. 2. Make a generous contribution to allow the BB-PR to fund independent (and expensive) studies to encourage government entities to build the bridge and not widen NC 12 or US 158. Please
Make Your *Check Payable To: *NOTE: BB-PR, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax-exempt corporation. 3. Sign a petition advocating building
the bridge and opposing widening 4. If a North Carolina resident, write, email and/or call your elected representatives and urge them to continue moving forward with the building of the Mid-Currituck Sound Bridge and thank them for all they have done to this point. Representative Walter Jones, Jr.
