Please clarify whether this construction affects the C. Heide Trask Memorial Bridge (opening bridge commonly known as the Wrightsville Beach Bridge). It only mentions the fixed portion of the Wrightsville Beach Bridge spanning Banks Channel and shouldn’t affect most Cruisers due to the fixed height at under 8 feet.
Todd is correct. This upgrade will be on the Banks Channel Bridge, not the Wrightsville Beach Bridge which crosses the AICW.
THANK YOU TODD! This posting will be removed shortly.
