Intersection of Floral Parkway and Park Avenue to close for road work

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Beginning at 9 a.m. on Thursday, the intersection of Floral Parkway and Park Avenue will be closed so that crews can install stormwater improvements.

The work is being done as part of a larger project, paving Peachtree Avenue, 39^th Street, Audubon Boulevard, Park Avenue and Floral Parkway. The intersection is expected to reopen by 5 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 11.

The City of Wilmington says work began in November and is expected to be completed later this month with more than 4 lane miles repaved in total.

This project is part of the city’s 5-year infrastructure improvement plan to make repairs to streets and other public facilities. Five cents on the city’s tax rate have been set aside to fund the plan and cannot be used for anything else.
