Gator, not cars, causes traffic ‘delays’ in Brunswick Co.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — A large alligator stopped vehicles from entering the Brunswick Town/Ft. Anderson Historic Site.

Posted on their Facebook page Thursday morning, the historic site decided to have a little fun with the gator’s choice of a hangout spot.

“We’re currently experiencing traffic delays approaching the site,” the post read. “But you can’t blame it on DOT construction this time.”

Adding to the fun, some of the comments from viewers ranged from “That’s some kind of speed bump” to “Bet it comes with traffic spikes!”

The large gator, which spanned most of the street, has been spotted before in the area, according to posts. Site officials urge people to never feed the gators.
