Leland Diverging Diamond work delayed

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Work to create a new traffic pattern in the Leland area will not happen this weekend after all.

The NCDOT says the contractor has postponed work to create the Diverging Diamond interchange at NC 133 and US 17/74/76 until January. No specific date has been set.

Yesterday the DOT held a briefing about the work that is aimed at reducing congestion on the road between Leland and Belville and is part of the Causway Project. Engineers warned during the briefing that weather could cause a delay until next month.
