The sand will always shift, hurricanes and nor-easters will happen, they need to let this bridge go and Hwy 12 also give up idea of building another bridge and allocate the money on robust ferry system and sand buggy taxi plus rentals for those without 4 wheel drive.
IMO most of tourists who stay in Nags Head and north just want to go to Hatteras or Ocracoke so they could create a ferry that loads in Nags Head and off loads in Avon or Buxton.
Its only 30 minute drive but adding the two hour ferry ride is the killer.
Ferries will leave at 5 a.m., 6:30, 8, 9:30, 11, 12:30 p.m., 2, 3:30, 5, & 9:30 from Stumpy Lake and 6 a.m., 7:30, 9, 10:30, Noon, 1:30 p.m, 3, 4:30, 6, & 7:30 from Rodanthe.
I enjoy the ferry ride to Ocracoke. It does just fine with ferry only service. Put another ferry going to Hatteras.
Spending hundreds of millions to build another bridge is crazy.
You are freaking insane to think Hatteras can survive on ferry service alone
