People are invited to a public meeting Dec. 9 in Knotts Island to provide input on the Marsh Causeway Bridge Replacement Project.
RALEIGH – The N.C. Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting next month to answer questions and accept comments on a proposal to replace the bridge on N.C. 615 (Marsh Causeway) over Corey’s Ditch near Knotts Island in Currituck County.
The project would either replace the 180-foot bridge in place, or close the man-made canal and pave it over with new roadway. Project details and maps can be found on the project webpage at

The meeting will be held from 5-7 p.m. Dec. 9 at Knotts Island Elementary School, 413 Woodleigh Road in Knotts Island.
Information on the project will be presented at the meeting allowing for one-on-one discussions with engineers, but there will be no formal presentation. People may drop in at any time to review preliminary design maps, ask questions of engineers and submit comments.
