Other Plans

These design plans are for the building renovation of 525 N 4th Street: a two-story brick building that will serve as the new office headquarters for the Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization. The original brick structure was purpose built in 1894 for Thomas Grocery, a local retail establishment on the north side. The current design includes office space for current employees and a dedicated public room for WMPO Board meetings and official functions. The anticipated construction completion date is late 2023.

In a joint effort with the City of Wilmington, CSX, and the Wilmington MPO, NCDOT has completed the Wilmington Traffic Separation Study (TSS), focusing on 26 existing at-grade roadway-railroad crossings along a 6-mile span of the CSXT rail line.

Traffic Separation Studies comprehensively evaluate traffic patterns and road usage for an entire municipality or region, determining the need for improving and/or eliminating public grade crossings.
