Front Street near Greenfield Lake to close Friday

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Department of Transportation will close South Front Street at the intersection of Burnett Boulevard and Carolina Beach Road in Wilmington this weekend.

The closure will be in place from 7:00 p.m. Friday until 6:00 a.m. Monday.

The closure is needed for crews to connect a new waterline to the existing waterline running parallel to South Front Street.

It is part of the Greenfield Lake Culvert Replacement project that began in January.

“We ask that drivers be especially careful when traveling in this area,” said Wilmington Resident Engineer Daniel Waugh. “Please follow the detour to South 3rd Street, Burnette Boulevard and Carolina Beach Road.”
