The move will also buy time while engineers devise a more nearly permanent solution to keep the Outer Banks highway above the stormy Atlantic.国家交通运输部正准备为北卡罗来纳州12在豌豆岛上搭建一个临时的混凝土桥以取代临时的钢桥架设。这一举措也为工程师们设计出一个近乎永久解决大西洋风暴对外滩岛危害的方案争取了时间。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.它是一连串的用于不同发展阶段的北卡罗来纳州12的桥梁工程之一，且其对于恶劣天气和不断上升的海平面来说极为脆弱。With an apparent low bid of $14.2 million, T.A. Loving Co. of Goldsboro is expected to get the contract for the 2,300-foot-long bridge, to be completed by spring 2017.戈尔兹伯勒助教爱有限公司预计可以以1420万美元的预算，在2017年春前完成2300英尺长的桥。DOT had begun building a permanent $59 million bridge there last year, planning to elevate N.C. 12 for two miles along its current track through the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. 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去年已经开始在此地建造一条耗资5900万美元的永久性桥梁，计划将北卡罗来纳州12路沿其当前轨道途经豌豆岛国家野生动物保护区的区域提高两英里。但该计划作为与通过诉讼使其更为紧要的项目受阻的团体的协议的一部分条件，遭到了废弃，逾期更换为俄勒冈州入口恶化的邦纳大桥。The fates of several bridges were decided in a legal settlement announced in June:这几座桥的命运在六月宣布的法律判定中被确定： 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.，在飓风艾琳在2011年于豌豆岛打开一个新的入口后，为替换660 英尺的钢桁梁桥，DOT将会建造一个全新的临时混凝土桥，且其追求环保至上的解决方案：将北卡罗来纳州12撤离岛屿，绕过帕姆利科湾。研究显示这项工程将于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. 在更远的南方，DOT将着手于一条耗资一亿就千万美元2.5英里长的桥，它会将使高速路以壶把手状的环形临于海峡之上，并绕过Rodanthe的哈特岛村。“We still dont have a timetable for when it will go to construction,” DOT spokeswoman Jennifer Heiss said.我们仍旧没有一个精确的时间表来确定她什么时候能够完成建设。DOT女发言人Jennifer Heiss说。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.最终，如果帕姆利科湾同样被批准为豌豆岛入口附近的路径，这两座桥可能被连结起来形成一个单一的七英里长的水上结构。 Construction could start next spring on the new 2.7-mile Oregon Inlet bridge, which links Pea and Hatteras islands to the mainland. The original contract was awarded for $216 million in 2011, before lawsuits stopped it. A new contract price has not been announced.明天春天将会开始2.7 英里俄勒冈湾桥工程，连结豌豆岛与内陆。原始合同在 2011 年诉讼停止之前，被裁定为 $ 2 亿 1600 万。新的合同价格并未公布。Meanwhile this week, repairs are underway for the newest breach on N.C. 12, about 25 miles north of Pea Island at Kitty Hawk. 同一星期，距小鹰的豌豆岛北25英里处，对于最新的北卡罗来纳州12受损的修复正在进行中。An ocean storm in the spring of 2014 obliterated a few hundred yards of pavement and dunes. An adjoining stretch was wiped out in early October by the combination of Hurricane Joaquin and a second storm.2014 年春季海洋风暴破坏了几百码的路面和沙丘。十月初飓风华金又为其带了二次伤害。Waff Contracting Inc. of Edenton was awarded a $413,000 contract to rebuild N.C. 12, known as Beach Road in Kitty Hawk. The work also includes rebuilding dunes, Heiss said, using 4.5-ton
