The priority should be to finish the stretch of I-140/17 Bypass from Hwy 421 (at the Dan Cameron Bridge) to Hwy 74/76 west of Leland. THAT would lessen traffic on the infamous "causeway" quite a bit and give drivers an option when there's a wreck or bridge opening. Instead, they're building the southernmost portion, which won't help much of anybody, because it goes from Hwy 74/76 west of Leland to Hwy 17 near Town Creek. It does nothing to alleviate the real problem... The Skyway will dump more cars into busy Wilmington streets and won't help anyone go AROUND Wilmington. And our grandkids will pay dearly.
