Cape Fear Memorial Bridge scheduled to close both lanes into Wilmington for months early next year
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Cape Fear Memorial Bridge will undergo construction work next year, leading to major lane closures.
An NCDOT presentation says both lanes into Wilmington from Brunswick County will close sometime in January through April 1st.
No work will take place from April 1st through April 7th for the Azalea Festival.
The work will then switch to the opposite side of the bridge, leading to both lanes from Wilmington into Brunswick County being shut down from April 7th until completion (aimed for late June 2024).
One proposal for a traffic detour includes sending all 18-wheelers down 3rd Street through downtown Wilmington.
We’ll have more information tonight on our evening news.
