The New Bonner Bridge was built and the old one is nearly demolished. To those that didn't want it - tough beans.! To those who wanted the 17 mile bridge, find a way to fund it from Bonner up to the new bridge around the S-Curves in Rodanthe. Just be glad that our beloved Hatteras Island is still accessible to residents and tourists alike.
The new Bonner bridge is called the basnight bridge
My family camped out at a park campsie near Oregon Inlet in 1961. When our car broke down, my father had to walk over to a boat launch and restaurant next to the ferry slip to call an auto repair firm. When my father returned, he told us that the pay phone had a crank on it. I thought that he was talking about some nasty and abusive person ahead of him who happened to be on the the phone. Two days later, I saw the phone that dad was describing. I was surprised to see that it was a non-dial coin phone with a magneto ringer box close by. First time that I saw anything like it. You needed to crank it to place a call.
And if you need gas ⛽ just put dollars in the slot machine 👍
Man: moves to remote, isolated island.
Also man: complains because remote, isolated island isn't accessible enough...
The solution is just maybe DON'T move to a remote, isolated island and start a business that relies mostly on tourism when there is only 1 road in or out... Or get used to barely being able to stay afloat when something inevitably happens that shuts that single road down...
I agree but its not even an island, its a spit of land on the move HA !
You can drive the beaches and there's ferries too.... calm down
Just build the new bridge and the road, then the s- shaped bridge. You make enough money during summer in Cape Hatteras and the other parts of the Outer Banks to build three bridge's. And tell the people that are trying to stop you where they can go live if they don't like it.
The bible says,"Don't build your house on shifting sands." that probably means bridges too.
Good to see that they are keeping some of it for a pier
Been going for 18+ years, plan on moving there soon… after Highschool
Fishing from the new bridge isn't as nice as I thought it would be due to tides but it is awesome that they kept a part of it there for fishing. We make sure to go there everytime we are at OBX.
I went across that bridge when I was going and going back home from the outer banks, I just came back from the outer banks around 3 weeks ago from a week of vacation of the outer banks
Old Jim still kicking it
If you don’t get the treatment he says. Your love for the place on the other side of the bridge is evidently more important than your life
or they could have done nothing and let the inlet fill in 30 years ago then they wouldn`t need a bridge..a new inlet would have broken through to the south and the boats could go out there
thank God they are building the new one now
Yes it’s operational
People that don't want no Bridges New Bridge let them swim back and forth then they'll want a new bridge
Glad to see its not just me that despises Charlottesville
1:00 life span
Environmentalist are the worst enemy any society has got. The state should push these nuts to the side and build a new bridge.
Ferry boat
This maybe the savior . Look at what has happened to the fla keys
I made it safe to bridge the money fix at their Bridge get off your butts and fix that damn Bridge
What a bunch of whiners. They knew the possible problems when they moved there. I’ve been there many times and knew what I was getting into when I went
Bore a tunnel . No environmental problems . Go figure !
Too much $
It will just have to wait. For some reason we have to suffer for Russia.
its already been built. this video is nearly 10 years old
Get rid of the environmentalist
The environmentalist needs to get a life when God made this Earth he knew how long it going to be here and he's able to take care of it until he sees fit two destroyed by fire and destruction of it but he will make a new Heaven and a new Earth so the environmentalist need to worry about saving Souls these are the words of Jesus
Amen!!
You have no evidence your invisible god exists. Stop PRETENDING to know things you do not know.
Huh? I think God intended us to take care of his creation.
@@lanieparker5730 we are his creation?
