Mid-Currituck Bridge funding gap
After 30 years, the Mid-Currituck Bridge remains unbuilt despite $61 million spent. Costs have more than doubled since 2011, and a $700 million funding gap means the project's future is uncertain. The state auditor wants NCDOT to make a definitive decision.

Three members, including a new non-resident property owner seat added by amendment, were appointed to the advisory board overseeing Carova road maintenance.
Crown Point drainage improvements
