Overnight closures planned for NC 211 in Brunswick County this week

OAK ISLAND, NC (WWAY) — Drivers in Brunswick County should prepare for overnight road closures along a portion of NC 211 this week as crews continue work on a new bridge.

According to the Town of Oak Island, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will close a section of NC 211, also known as Southport Supply Road, on Tuesday, Nov. 10, Wednesday, Nov. 11, and Thursday, Nov. 12.

The closures will take place each night from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning.

The affected section of highway is located just east of the intersection with NC 906, also known as E.F. Middleton Boulevard.

NCDOT says the closures are necessary to allow crews to safely install girders for a new bridge that will carry NC 906 over NC 211.

During the closures, drivers will be directed to follow a short detour using NC 906/Midway Road and the new connector ramp to NC 211 to reach destinations on either side of the closure.

Officials are urging drivers to use caution around construction crews and allow extra travel time.
