Cape Fear Bridge Upgrade Decided by You | Wilmington News
Description
The Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, a 60-year-old icon, is set for a major upgrade with two competing plans: a lift bridge that rises 135 feet or a fixed-height bridge at the same elevation. North Carolina’s DOT is actively seeking public input through hearings and comments before finalizing either option, aiming to balance traffic flow, environmental impact, and community needs. While Wilmington City Council leans toward rejecting the fixed bridge due to location concerns, the DOT remains open to all feedback until October 15th, with hearings scheduled for September 14th and 15th.
