“Right now, NCDOT cannot produce this project without a toll or an alternate funding source,” Trevor Carroll, North Carolina Department of Transportation Division 3 engineer, told Leland Town Council members, according to the Port City Daily.
- “Though it is considering three bridge options — a 65-foot movable span, a 100-foot (plus or minus) fixed bridge and a 135-foot fixed bridge — NCDOT has issued a price point only for the 135-foot. It’s $1.1 billion.”
- “Carroll said NCDOT has run out of grant options after nabbing the federal government’s $242 million award last year. “
