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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
