Question: What’s the longest bridge in North Carolina?
Answer: The Virginia Dare Bridge is the state’s longest. At 5.2 miles, it’s 2 miles longer than any bridge in either of the Carolinas, and one of the longest concrete bridges on the East Coast.
Bonus info: The Virginia Dare Bridge was designed to last a century—twice as long as the previous generation of bridges—thanks to NCDOT increasing the concrete cover on the epoxy-coated reinforcing steel and using a durability-based, high-performance concrete with calcium nitrate corrosion inhibitors.
