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.

      I don’t agree with the criticism of not calling runs. We tried and they weren’t working at all. Evero going soft with 30 seconds left and Tampa needing a field goal to tie is a firable offense. The 2nd down trick play in the first half was stupidity as was attempting the second field goal on 4th and short after we had already missed one.

      Bears trade vs 49ers trade

      By musicman · Posted

      We may have given up a lot for Bryce, which puts more pressure on the whole trade to work out, but it's coming around. If he plays like a top 15 QB, we can build a team around him. The CMC trade brought us the picks needed and looks like with his injuries to be the right call. A helluva talent, but injury prone. We also did the right thing a not giving Burns the big money as he's done nothing big. Yes, trading with the Rams would have been the biggest robbery of the century but even getting a 2nd was good (we would have only gotten a 3rd as compensation anyway). Those picks shaped what we did and what we are doing and if bryce continues to be better, we have a QB for at least next year and we can see what happens. He did not lose today's game and without Sanders and Coker he didn't have all his weapons and still almost pulled it out. Trust in Morgan and watch Canales get them all on the same page and playing like a team. A few more signings and one more draft and we can be a playoff team (if we kept playing like we have the last few games). Hope! Keep Pounding!
