Built in the 1960s, the Bonner Bridge carried North Carolina Highway 12 over Oregon Inlet—the only road connecting the mainland to the popular beaches known as the Outer Banks. When it was replaced in the 2010s, the estimated costs were more than $200 million. Image copyrighted by NC Department of Transportation. Used with permission.
