Dear Mr. Hennessy:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is conducting the planning
and environmental studies for the above referenced bridge replacement projects. The
projects are located in NCDOT Division 1. Due to changes in the scope of the projects, we
are again asking for your comments.
Based on comments received from l-he public and coordinatiorL with the National Park
Service, NCDOT proposes to close NC 12 and replace all seven bridges simultaneously
during a 75-day period. Bridge Number 24 will be replaced with a culvert. Construction
would occur during winter months, and a 3.2-mile long detour along the beach would be
provided.
The purpose of this letter is to solicit your input concerning the potential impact of the
seven proposed projects upon social, economic, demographic, land use or environmental
conditions near the project sites. A project location map is attached.
To allow us to fully evaluate the impacts of the proposed projects, please respond in writing
by Apri130, 2007 to the address below concerning any beneficial or adverse impacts of the
proposed projects relating to the interest of your agency.
