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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
