WILMINGTON — The North Carolina Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting to discuss its planned improvements to College Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway.
The proposed project converts the current intersection of College Road (U.S. 117/N.C. 132) and Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway (U.S. 74) into a grade-separated intersection with a bridge or overpass and interconnecting ramps or loops, similar to an interstate interchange. This design reduces congestion and improves safety.
The meeting will occur Thursday, Jan. 29 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in UNCW’s Burney Center, 601 S. College Road.
The public may attend at any time during the above hours, as no formal presentation will be made. NCDOT representatives will be available during the open house to answer questions and receive comments regarding the proposed project. Project details and maps can be found at the NCDOT public input webpage. The opportunity to submit written comments will be provided at the meeting or can be submitted via phone, email or at NCDOT’s public input portal by March 2, 2026.
