US-17 Corridor Study
New Hanover and Pender Counties, NC
The Mulkey team is coordinating project development as well as environmental and engineering services associated with preparing an Environmental Impact Statement for this project to extend Military Cutoff Road from its current terminus at US-17 (Market Street) to the Wilmington Bypass. The project will improve the traffic carrying capacity and safety of the US-17 corridor. The 84-square-mile study area contains extensive wetlands, the red-cockaded woodpecker and other protected species and several large proposed developments.
Alternatives developed for this project used innovative modeling techniques, which identified best-path corridor alignments and facilitated early comprehensive impacts screening. This project includes extensive public involvement with varied stakeholders including nearly 3,000 property owners, local, state and federal agencies and neighborhood and business leaders.
