The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has organized two public meetings this week to address the forthcoming replacement of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge and provide updates on the South Front Street widening initiative in Wilmington. The first gathering is scheduled for this evening at Cape Fear Community College’s Union Station, followed by a second meeting at North Brunswick High School in Leland on Wednesday. These sessions offer an opportunity for the public to engage with project specifics, including the NCDOT’s consideration of three replacement alternatives for the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, a key structure spanning the Cape Fear River.
Attendees can explore project maps and related information at both events, shedding light on the planned South Front Street widening project. Although there will not be a formal presentation, individuals are encouraged to drop by at their convenience during the meeting hours, where NCDOT staff will be present to address inquiries. To facilitate public participation, comments regarding the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge project are open for submission until October 25. Feedback can be shared by contacting 984-205-6615 and entering project code 10626 or via email at CapeFearMemorialBridge@publicinput.com. Similarly, comments on the South Front Street project can be provided using project code 10422 or by emailing FrontStreetImprovements@publicinput.com, ensuring that community input is actively sought and considered in these infrastructure developments.
