MANTEO, N.C. (WAVY) — Westbound lanes of Washington Baum (Pirate’s Cove) Bridge on U.S. 64 will reopen to traffic on Friday.

The lanes were closed last September when work began on a $21.3 million bridge rehabilitation project to improve rideability and extend the bridge’s lifespan.

During the closure, construction crews resurfaced the bridge’s deck to repair its bumpy surface.

All four lanes of the bridge will remain open until Sept. 16, when resurfacing begins in the eastbound lanes.

The HAWKS (Helping All Work Zones Keep Safe) program, will remain in place to provide additional traffic enforcement in the area.
