The bridges are fine, but the causeway itself is practically at the water level.
This is a perfect example of why, when we first started looking to move here I said NO to any thought of living on Chincoteague or Saxis (the town in the picture I posted earlier) low lying causeway which constitute the one way on/in, one way off/out for both locales. I live halfway between both, so I enjoy the benefits of both, without the concerns of both.
We have 3—count them, 3—roads coming into our county. A few years ago the state wasted $$$$$ putting up Hurricane Evacuation signs on all the west bound lanes. If you’re too stupid to figure out how to leave, you don’t need to be here! Can you tell I hate tourists?! And wasteful spending?! Their brainstorm for this year is to take all the uturns out of the medians, no more stoplights so the people from Raleigh can get to the beach faster.
