The Cape Fear Skyway (also called the Cape Fear Crossing) was a proposed limited access toll road and bridge in North Carolina, United States, that would pass through portions of New Hanover and Brunswick counties.
The proposed 9.5-mile (15.3 km) route would connect the south-end of Wilmington to Brunswick County, by crossing over the Cape Fear River.
The proposed clearance is 225 ft (68.5 m) to allow large tankers or cruise ships to pass underneath and it would likely be a cable-stayed bridge.
[3] A similar project of undetermined timing remains under discussion in Wilmington,[4][5] but NCDOT says construction would not start before 2029.
[6] In August 2019, NCDOT halted design and planning of the bridge, putting the project on hold indefinitely.
