Road work scheduled to restore Wilmington street to original brick finish

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Work will soon begin to return a Wilmington street to its original brick finish.

Crews will start the process of restoring a section of South Front Street, between Queen and Castle streets, to a brick street on September 5th.

Workers will remove existing asphalt over what is currently a partial base layer of bricks, fixing the existing bricks, and adding new bricks for a fully rehabilitated brick street, as identified in the city’s brick street policy.

The work is expected to take 8-10 weeks to complete.

Traffic control measures will be in place and the official detour route will be Surry Street.

UPDATE

The project was postponed due to Idalia. A new start date isn’t currently available.
