Ocean Isle Beach residents could get home Monday
OCEAN ISLE BEACH, NC (NEWS RELEASE) — Power has been restored to the island! Town staff will be working diligently to complete all repairs to infrastructure as quickly as possible. We anticipate opening the bridge to PROPERTY OWNERS ONLY after 12pm* on Monday, September 17, 2018. (*estimated time only)
PLEASE NOTE – Our ability to open the bridge for PROPERTY OWNERS tomorrow is contingent upon the power remaining on and ALL utilities being restored.
We strongly encourage you to stay tuned to Town Media outlets to confirm the actual time for the opening of the bridge. This will help prevent any unnecessary wait times for our residents. Once granted re-entry, Property Owners will need to drive directly to their property and refrain from any unnecessary travel around the island.
Estimated Re-entry to the island for the GENERAL PUBLIC will occur on Tuesday, September 18, 2018 at 8am. Please note this is an ESTIMATED TIME ONLY.
ADDITIONAL INFO – Town staff made an extensive effort to record and transmit video of the island today but encountered unforeseen technical difficulties. We will continue our efforts to provide footage by posting a FACEBOOK LIVE video on the Town of OIB Facebook Page tomorrow morning at approximately 9am.
