A long-term transportation solution to severe storms that cause breaches on N.C. 12 according to the state Department of Transportation, the 2.4-mile Rodanthe bridge extends over the Pamlico Sound between the southern end of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and Rodanthe.
After the bridge is completed, which is expected to be in fall 2021, the current N.C. 12 at the southern end of the refuge will be removed and the land returned to its natural state.
