The move will also buy time while engineers devise a more nearly permanent solution to keep the Outer Banks highway above the stormy Atlantic.國(guó)家交通運(yùn)輸部正準(zhǔn)備為北卡羅來納州12在豌豆島上搭建一個(gè)臨時(shí)的混凝土橋以取代臨時(shí)的鋼橋架設(shè)。這一舉措也為工程師們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)出一個(gè)近乎永久解決大西洋風(fēng)暴對(duì)外灘島危害的方案爭(zhēng)取了時(shí)間。Its one of a string of bridge projects in various stages of development along N.C. 12 in Dare County, which is increasingly vulnerable to rough weather and rising seas.它是一連串的用于不同發(fā)展階段的北卡羅來納州12的橋梁工程之一，且其對(duì)于惡劣天氣和不斷上升的海平面來說極為脆弱。With an apparent low bid of $14.2 million, T.A.

But that project was scrapped as part of a deal with conservation groups whose lawsuits had blocked a more urgent DOT project: an overdue replacement for the deteriorating Bonner Bridge across Oregon Inlet.DOT去年已經(jīng)開始在此地建造一條耗資5900萬美元的永久性橋梁，計(jì)劃將北卡羅來納州12路沿其當(dāng)前軌道途經(jīng)豌豆島國(guó)家野生動(dòng)物保護(hù)區(qū)的區(qū)域提高兩英里。但該計(jì)劃作為與通過訴訟使其更為緊要的項(xiàng)目受阻的團(tuán)體的協(xié)議的一部分條件，遭到了廢棄，逾期更換為俄勒岡州入口惡化的邦納大橋。The fates of several bridges were decided in a legal settlement announced in June:這幾座橋的命運(yùn)在六月宣布的法律判定中被確定： To replace a 660-foot steel truss bridge built quickly after Hurricane Irene opened a new inlet on Pea Island in 2011, DOT will build the new temporary concrete structure while it pursues the environmentalists preferred solution: Moving N.C. 12 off the island, curving out over Pamlico Sound. A study of this option will be completed in early 2017.，在颶風(fēng)艾琳在2011年于豌豆島打開一個(gè)新的入口后，為替換660 英尺的鋼桁梁橋，DOT將會(huì)建造一個(gè)全新的臨時(shí)混凝土橋，且其追求環(huán)保至上的解決方案：將北卡羅來納州12撤離島嶼，繞過帕姆利科灣。研究顯示這項(xiàng)工程將于2017年早期完工。 Farther south, DOT will proceed with its plan to spend an estimated $190 million for a 2.5-mile bridge that will take the highway over the sound in a “jug handle” loop, bypassing a fragile stretch at the Hatteras Island village of Rodanthe. 在更遠(yuǎn)的南方，DOT將著手于一條耗資一億就千萬美元2.5英里長(zhǎng)的橋，它會(huì)將使高速路以壺把手狀的環(huán)形臨于海峽之上，并繞過Rodanthe的哈特島村?！癢e still dont have a timetable for when it will go to construction,” DOT spokeswoman Jennifer Heiss said.我們?nèi)耘f沒有一個(gè)精確的時(shí)間表來確定她什么時(shí)候能夠完成建設(shè)。DOT女發(fā)言人Jennifer Heiss說。Eventually, if Pamlico Sound also is approved for the path around the Pea Island inlet, these two bridges might be combined to form a single seven-mile structure over water.最終，如果帕姆利科灣同樣被批準(zhǔn)為豌豆島入口附近的路徑，這兩座橋可能被連結(jié)起來形成一個(gè)單一的七英里長(zhǎng)的水上結(jié)構(gòu)。 Construction could start next spring on the new 2.7-mile Oregon Inlet bridge, which links Pea and Hatteras islands to the mainland.
