The North Carolina Department of Transportation is hosting a public meeting next month on a proposal to replace a Currituck County bridge near Knotts Island.
The proposed project would either replace the 180-foot bridge on N.C. Highway 615, known as Marsh Causeway, over Corey’s Ditch near the island, or close the existing man-made canal and pave it over with new roadway, according to a transportation department release.
