Biersdorf & Associates Project # 5110.001
Condemning Authority: North Carolina Department of Transportation
This project will extend the Wilmington Bypass (Interstate 140/US Highway 17) from US Highway 421 to US Highway 74-76. It will make the bypass a four-lane limited access freeway, with interchanges at US Highway 421, Cedar Hill Road, Mount Misery Road and US Highway 74-76. The overall bypass design is meant to be a more direct route to Brunswick County and also to decrease congestion in the city of Wilmington.
The Nc/DOT will use stimulus funds to help pay for the $100 million project. The Nc/DOT has received one stimulus package to use for state-wide projects thus far, and plans on using $20 to $25 million in funds, combined with $25 million in bonds to help pay for the project. The funding combined will cover almost half of the bypass construction.
While the bypass is a top priority project in Wilmington, it’s not the area’s only notable project. A $37 million project to build a second bridge to Oak Island is behind schedule, but anticipated to be completed by Memorial Day 2010, and $31 million project to build a new Sunset Beach bridge is expected to be finished by May 2010.
If you have questions, or you think you may be affected by the project, call us for more information toll-free at 866.339.7242.
