BAYBORO - The N.C. Department of Transportation will meet with the public this month regarding the proposal to replace two bridges in Pamlico County.
Both bridges are on N.C. 55 between Bayboro and Stonewall. One bridge is over the South Prong River, while the other is over Alligator Creek. The bridges need to be replaced because of their condition. While they are safe for travel, they are considered structurally deficient and need more constant maintenance. The proposal to replace both at the same time is due to both being along the same route.
Maps of the proposal area can be found at the NCDOT Public Meetings website.
NCDOT will host a public meeting March 14 from 4 – 7 p.m. in the Commissioner’s Meeting Room in the Pamlico County Courthouse Annex at 202 Main Street in Bayboro. Area residents are welcome to come during these times to get information, ask questions and talk with NCDOT representatives. There will not be a formal presentation. The comments and information received will be taken into consideration as work develops with the project.
Written comments can be turned in at the meeting or done by phone, email or mail by March 28.
