North Carolina Department of Transportation representatives and project team members will be on hand to answer questions and receive comments regarding the proposed study that will look at the feasibility of rehabilitating or relocating the facility, which has been impacted by ocean encroachment and road closures in recent years.
Design concepts will focus on traffic flow, construction challenges and multiple types of transportation. The study will also assess the need for new infrastructure, channel dredging, potential breakwater impacts and other navigational factors.
All comments received will be reviewed and discussed by the project team and taken into consideration as the project develops.
