flag Wilmington proposes two toll plans to replace bridge, with $2 fee and discounts possible in private deal.

flag Transportation officials in Wilmington presented two toll-based options for replacing the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, both involving a $2 per trip fee. flag The first, a state-led project, would not allow toll discounts for low-income drivers, while the second, a public-private partnership, could offer such discounts. flag With a $1.1 billion price tag and only a $242 million federal grant secured, tolling is seen as essential to close the funding gap. flag Despite opposition from local leaders and residents, including a prior city council resolution against tolls, the planning board has not withdrawn support, pending further funding efforts.
