As our partnership with Luxury Portfolio allows, Intracoastal Realty’s listings are often featured on LuxuryPortfolio.com. We often peruse the other listings around the world and become enamored with a number of the features, the outdoor spaces, and the interior design and decor of these lavish properties. This week, we have opted to share a few of our favorites with you.

During the DOT meeting on Thursday, February 18, 2016, it was mentioned that improvements will be made to Wrightsville Beach bridge during the summer. The good news is that it will not occur in middle of summer! Below is the information about the bridge improvements and time line. This is from the Wrightsville Beach town manager, Tim Owens.
Bike Improvements On the Bridge
NCDOT has funding in place to install plates over the grates on the drawbridge to make biking more safe. The plates (about 2.5 feet in width) will be bolted onto the decking on each outside lane. The travel lanes will be narrowed to 11 feet from their existing width. The project will be let in June. The begin date will be after Labor Day. Construction work and lane closures will be allowed weekly from 9am to 4pm with the exception of weekends or during night time hours. There could be a few night time bridge closures during the construction process.
