Lane closure scheduled on Odell Williamson Bridge for railing repairs

OCEAN ISLE BEACH, NC (WWAY) — One lane of the Odell Williamson Bridge leading into Ocean Isle Beach will be closed beginning Monday morning as crews work to repair a damaged section of the bridge’s pedestrian railing.

According to a post from the Town of Ocean Isle Beach on social media, one lane of traffic will be fully closed throughout the repair project, which is expected to continue through Wednesday.

The damage occurred on Thursday, May 28th, when a house being transported across the bridge struck and knocked off a portion of the pedestrian railing along the southbound lane.

Repairs are scheduled to begin at approximately 9 a.m. Monday. Motorists traveling to and from Ocean Isle Beach are encouraged to plan for possible delays and use caution while passing through the work zone.
