The long-awaited environmental impact statement for the Currituck Mid-County Bridge is expected to be released in the next couple of weeks, representing a major milestone for the $660 million project.
The Federal Highway Administration is currently reviewing the study, known as an EIS, and after then, it should be released to the N.C. Turnpike Authority, spokesman Beau Memory said.
Turnpike engineer Jennifer Harris said the EIS will be posted on the agency’s Web site, and that will be followed by a series of hearings for public input.
Harris said the bridge study is being prepared differently from a traditional EIS.
“We discuss alternatives that we will evaluate to see how they meet the purpose of need, what kind of impact they would have on the environment and we investigate and quantify the costs for the alternatives,” she said.
Alternatives would include several different bridge designs or no bridge at all, as well as ferry and transit systems.
