The Grand Strand Area Transportation Study Metropolitan Planning Organization (GSATS) conducted a transportation study for the Holden Beach Causeway corridor. This study was selected for funding through GSATS’ Local Direct Attributable (DA) funds program. The study area consisted of Holden Beach Road (NC 130)—commonly referred to as the Holden Beach Causeway—from the intersection of Holden Beach Road (NC 130) and Sabbath Home Road (SR 1120) to the Atlantic Intra-Coastal Waterway in Brunswick County.
