Current Articles: (12/28/21) How rising seas could bring new challenges for two big Wilmington infrastructure projects
Where the Cape Fear River flows dark and murky through downtown Wilmington, a pair of large proposed projects deemed vital to keeping the state’s economy moving forward — and as political priorities by state and local officials — converge.
But both face significant environmental and financial hurdles, although one received a major down payment in the new North Carolina state budget, and could see significant changes in response to a changing climate.
One is a bridge. The other a deeper shipping channel. Both are intricately woven in with the Cape Fear River, the natural artery that equally unites and divides much of Southeastern North Carolina.
They also share a potential time line of a decade or more to come to fruition, assuming all regulatory and financial hurdles associated with price tags that could approach $1 billion each can be overcome. And for both projects, officials
say time is of the essence. "I'd say we need both of them," said Charlie Wilkins as he fished on a cool November day from a public boat ramp in the shadow of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, the metal lift section of the 1960s-era bridge rattling above him
as trucks roared over it. "But that's a lot of money, that's for sure."
Growing the port, Wilmington and N.C.
Just south of downtown and the Memorial Bridge sits the Port of Wilmington, a smallish-sized commercial entity compared to some of its peers that has capitalized on its uncrowded status to offer quick turnarounds and ease of entry and exit
to its customers.
But as the container ships that ply the oceans have grown in size in conjunction with the widening of the Panama Canal to accommodate them, officials have decided the port needs to get bigger to stay relevant. Wilmington is doing just
that. Along with adding more huge container cranes onshore, a new gate access, and widening the port’s turning basin, that also means getting deeper water access. The Cape Fear River shipping channel connects the port with the Atlantic, providing a 42-foot
depth access to Wilmington. Officials now want to see the roughly 26-mile-long channel deepened to 47 feet.
“Improvements to the federal navigation channel would increase the efficiency of cargo vessels currently using the port, as well as allow the use of larger, more efficient vessels in the future,” states the project’s feasibility study,
an early look at the proposed project that doesn't include a detailed review, by the Army Corps of Engineers. “This increase in efficiency will result in significant transportation cost savings compared to the expected future without-project conditions, especially
as the realization of opportunities for increased vessel efficiency allows the Port of Wilmington to remain a port-of-call on (U.S. East Coast)-Asia services.”
The MV Hyundai Hope, seen here docking at the Port of Wilmington in May 2020, is one of the new generation of giant container ships now plying the world's oceans. The 1,200-foot-long vessel carries nearly 14,000 containers.
The channel's last deepening project, completed in 2004 and with the federal government picking up roughly $280 million of the project's $400 million price tag, took the channel depth from 38 feet to 42 feet. The port has seen tremendous
container growth since then, setting a record during the 2020-21 fiscal year with more than 324,000 TEUs (20-foot equivalent units, the standard measure for containers) handled. That's almost triple what it was two decades ago.
But that number is still just a fraction of the 5.3 million containers that flowed through Savannah's massive port last year. And the Georgia port, like the huge ports in Charleston, S.C., and Norfolk, Va., are already deeper than Wilmington.
Charleston will soon offer a 52-foot draft, while Savannah is at 47 feet. Norfolk's channel, which also serves the largest Navy base in the world, is aiming to have 55 feet of depth by mid-decade. That has led some critics to wonder why the country needs
all of these deepwater ports, all seemingly in a race to get deeper via taxpayer-funded projects every few years, within a couple hundred miles of each other.
Brian Clark, who was appointed executive director of the N.C. State Ports Authority in June 2020, said Wilmington knows its role. "Our goal is not to be a Savannah or one of the larger ports," he said last month. "It's to support the state
and the shippers and businesses here in North Carolina with superior service at the lowest cost." He added that the significant investments made to the port in recent years, which could include a massive rail realignment project in coming years, coupled with
the proposed deepening project are vital to the facility's future and its ability to act as a statewide jobs and business investment catalyst. “Our position is that one goes with the other, particular with the carriers deploying these larger vessels," Clark
said. "Absent these projects, the concern is that we’re not going to be considered for these services in the future."
A 2021 study in the journal Maritime Transportation Research found that small U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports did generally benefit from the expansion of the Panama Canal and the increasing use of mega-container ships by carriers. They
did this largely by leveraging and investing in their competitive advantages, namely in ease of access compared to larger ports and proximity to certain markets. The Wilmington port in recent decades also has received strong bipartisan backing from Raleigh.
That political support was reinforced last month when a compromise budget bill between the Republican-controlled General Assembly and Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper included nearly $284 million in state funding for the deepening project. According to the corps'
study, deepening the channel by 5 feet would cost roughly $750 million in 2019 dollars, with the federal government picking up 75% of the cost of the project, which has been authorized by Congress but not funded. The state would be responsible for the other
25%.
State Sen. Michael Lee, the Republican representative for New Hanover County and former chair of the N.C. State Ports Authority Board of Directors, said the state dollars — aside from possibly funding reviews and other studies — would be
accessed once the deepening project has received all of the necessary federal and state regulatory approvals. But he said earmarking the dollars for the work at this early stage sends an important message. "It lets our businesses here in North Carolina and
our carriers know that we're very interested in investing and securing the future for our ports," he said, noting the value of the ports as job creators across the state.
Will bigger vessels mean bigger problems? But the proposed channel deepening isn't without its criticisms and concerns, many mirroring issues raised around the last deepening project in the 1990s. Cost is a major one. But environmental
questions are expected to be amplified this time around by increasing concerns about climate change, particularly sea-level rise. Kerri Allen, a coastal advocate with the N.C. Coastal Federation, the coast's largest environmental watchdog group, said it's
natural to think a deeper channel handling bigger vessels will create a new set of environmental concerns.
Already Caswell Beach and Bald Head Island, which lie on either side of the mouth of the Cape Fear River, have raised concerns about how a deepened channel would worsen the erosion woes along their shorelines. According to town officials,
those problems increased in the early 2000s after the corps modified the navigation channel to make it easier for ships entering and exiting the river. Then there are the potential impacts on wetlands, bird habitats, endangered species and the Cape Fear
River's tributaries as more and bigger vessels traverse to and from Wilmington.
But it is potential impacts caused by sea-level rise that is raising the most red flags among environmentalists. According to the corps' feasibility study, "projected future sea level changes through the end of the proposed project’s design
life (2077) range from 0.34 ft. under the low scenario to 2.57 ft. under the high scenario." "The sea-level rise figures included in the study are quite frankly inaccurate and outdated," Allen said, noting research released in the lead up to this fall's
United Nation's Climate Change Conference in Glasgow. Scotland, that showed the seas rising much faster than earlier forecast. Ramona McGee, an attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center, echoed the concerns about some of the feasibility study's
estimates and environmental projections. She said she expects the upcoming environmental impact statement (EIS) to include a more thorough and objective look at the proposal.
The Cape Fear River shipping channel extends from the mouth of the river at the Atlantic more than 20 miles upstream to downtown Wilmington. "We want to ensure the project goes through the appropriate environmental review at the appropriate
time so the project isn't just getting a rubber stamp approval after the fact," McGee said. Dave Connolly, spokesman for the corps' Wilmington district, said several issues have been flagged for further review before the project's draft EIS is published.
They are the project's economic assumptions, sea-level rise projections and salinity issues. An independent peer review is also planned. "We anticipate these efforts will take at least two years subject to the availability of funds," Connolly said via email.
Port officials said they look forward to working with the corps, the regulatory agencies and other groups to make sure all environmental concerns are addressed.
Securing a bridge's future - While the channel deepening project has a path, albeit a potentially challenging one, to becoming reality, the route is much less clear for a major on-land component that could be vital for the Port of Wilmington
to reach its full potential. Most of the container traffic entering and leaving the port travels via truck over the Memorial Bridge, a volume of traffic that is expected to keep increasing in coming years with or without a deepened channel. But the span,
which opened in 1969 and links New Hanover and Brunswick counties, is in its twilight years, and DOT officials have preached for years that the structure doesn’t have much life left in it. The bridge's approach roads in Brunswick County also travel across
low-lying Eagles Island, leaving them potentially prone to increased flooding as the seas rise and climate change brings more extreme weather events to the coast. Yet proposal after proposal for a replacement structure have been put forward only to later
sink in a bog of political quicksand and squabbling among local officials.
Plans to replace the Memorial Bridge first started percolating in the late 1990s, picking up steam in the early 2000s. But the “Cape Fear Skyway” fell apart over disagreements over its cost and where a new bridge and its approach roads
should be, with so much bad blood between local officials that it was decided to drop the word “Skyway” from future proposals. A later push, dubbed the “Cape Fear Crossing,” also stalled over the highway’s billion dollar-plus price tag for a new bridge south
of the Port of Wilmington and its proposed path In Brunswick County. Most recently, a proposal by a private company to partner with the DOT to build a replacement bridge largely using the same footprint and approach roads as the existing Memorial Bridge fizzled
over concerns over tolls and the impact on communities on the Wilmington side of the river.
Will Cape Fear Memorial Bridge get left behind? But the need for a new crossing to relieve pressure on the four-lane Memorial Bridge and add capacity beyond the two other bridges over the Cape Fear — the Isabel Holmes drawbridge and the
Interstate 140 Dan Cameron Bridge, both north of downtown Wilmington — is growing year by year. And how to fund a new bridge, which could easily cost $500 million for just a replacement structure, has yet to be tackled.
The bridge handled about 69,000 vehicles a day in 2020, according to the latest traffic count, with that number expected to keep increasing by several thousand vehicles a day for the foreseeable future. The Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, which
opened in 1969, is a four-lane bridge over the Cape Fear River. It is Wilmington's primary crossing and links New Hanover and Brunswick counties. The bridge also is viewed by emergency officials as a key cog in the region’s ability to prepare, evacuate and
then recover from any hurricane strike, especially as the Wilmington area’s population continues to increase rapidly. The tri-county region’s population, which has already expanded rapidly in recent decades to an estimated 459,000 in 2021, is expected to jump
another 40% by 2040, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Financing questions, political uncertainty and other growing needs have seen the project consistently struggle to rank high on the region's transportation planning list, leaving it as the top unfunded priority by the Wilmington Metropolitan
Planning Organization, a group of local elected leaders that sets transportation policy for the Cape Fear region. For not the first time, Chad Kimes, head of the Wilmington-area's DOT division, stressed the need to map out a replacement strategy for the
aging structure.
Why do Leland residents cross the Cape Fear? Here's what the town still lacks - “The bridge is perfectly safe right now and will be for several more years, but it’s time to start looking into a replacement," he said last month, adding that
a new bridge could take up to 10 years to permit, design, acquire the necessary land and build. The Memorial Bridge includes a central section that can be raised to allow tall or large vessels to pass and reach downtown Wilmington. With the bridge's movable
middle lift-section likely to need a major rehabilitation within a decade and the structure's fixed areas a similar upgrade soon after that, Kimes said major, expensive and inevitably inconvenient maintenance needs are coming up quickly. "There's no panic
right now," he said, "but the clock is ticking."

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...<span-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Low pressure will move SE today while pulling a cold front SE into the
southern waters. The front will stall and then lift back N into the northern waters as a warm front tonight where it will again stall. The front will remain nearly stationary across the northern waters Wed into Thu night as a series of low pressure areas
develop and track E along the front. The final low will clear E of the waters early Fri, with a high pressure ridge building E over the area late Fri into Fri night. A warm front will develop near the Virginia Capes early Sat, and lift N and NE over the
region Sat. A strong cold front will slowly approach the Mid-Atlantic coast Sat night. $$
