Wilmington Area Huddlers (Traffic)

Is about to become worse before it gets better coming into town from the west...

A contract to widen the causeway between Leland and Wilmington is expected to be awarded by December, kicking off a long process that area officials expect will be painful for commuters.

"I've always been concerned," said Pat Batleman, Leland's mayor pro tem and transporation advisory committee representative. "This is why there were so many times where we were asking, ‘Why can't you get I-140 done first?'"

But if all goes as planned, N.C. Department of Transportation officials hope to ensure traffic will never go down to less than two lanes in each direction – even during the replacement of the two bridges over the Brunswick River.

 

 

 

Also, DOT has come up with a new plan for a new bridge over the Cape Fear coming into town...  it actually makes a lot of sense...

I work out in Columbus County, but I'll be back to school by then. No worries for me. Have fun though, others.

 

Where do you work?

 

 

I live in town so I don't have to cross that damn bridge.  My wife loves Brunswick Forest, but I'm not doing it, maybe in 10 years when they finish all of that...

As far as I know, there is no funding for the "sky way bridge".  It's a few local families that own the land on both sides trying to make some cash off of the state.

 

Like the article states, if they would finish the bypass and not worry about this ish, the problem would take care of itself.

 

To many "agendas" in the DOT.

They do need to hurry up and finish I-140/17 bypass for sure.

 

 

They also have to do something about a bridge...  The CFM bridge is old as hell...

 

This new plan makes the most sense I've seen... it negates the need for a new road from Hwy17 in Winnabow over to the river for a "Skyway" Bridge and it also allows them to build a much lower bridge since this new section will be north of the port.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
