Wrightsville Beach Bridges in Flux
Description
Wrightsville Beach is bracing for major bridge disruptions as NCDOT eyes replacement of the U.S. 76 bridge and two smaller ones — but without a final design or timeline, locals fear weeks of gridlock and travel chaos. While work on the West Salisbury Street bridge over Kenans Creek is set to begin this fall, delays in permitting and contracting are stalling the bigger projects. Businesses and residents are already preparing for potential two-week island cutoffs and hours-long commutes — all while officials scramble to lock in cost controls amid mounting uncertainty.
