Cape Fear Skyway Project Update

The Skyway Project, took center stage on Wednesday as the N.C. Turnpike Authority officials met with the regions Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) to discuss the preferred route of the project as well as see if their is enough political muster to see it come to fruition.  New Hanover County officials have already taken the necessary steps on their side of the river by securing much needed right-of-way.

However even if a corridor is chosen there are still a significant amount of hurdles that stand in its way.  The greatest is funding, with the project coming in with a $1.1 billion Gap funding from the N.C. General Assembly may not be enough to cover any construction differences.  To view the presentation that was given yesterday you may download it below.
