Above is just one of the many bridge options being considering by the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The current one, a swing bridge built in the early 50's, has reached what is considered by the DOT to be the end of its useful life. This is being said mostly due to the fact that parts for the structure would have to be fabricated and maintenance is becoming increasingly expensive. Consider, as I did at the workshop held by the DOT in Surf City, the fact that should the bridge break down, either in an open or closed position, it will play havoc with either vehicular or intracoastal traffic.
