Intermittent Lane Closures Start Monday on two N.C. 211 Bridges in Brunswick County

Starting at 8:30 p.m., Monday, July, 13, and ending at 5 a.m., Friday, July 17, the N.C. Department of Transportation will intermittently close lanes in both directions of the N.C. 211 Bridges over Dutchman Creek and Progress Energy Channel north of Southport in Brunswick County. These closures will allow crews to perform geotechnical borings to investigate the subsurface conditions beneath each bridge. One lane in each direction on the bridges will remain open to traffic during the project.

Geotechnical borings help determine the nature of the soil that exists below the surface, ensuring that engineers can choose the best foundations for future bridge replacements.

The bridges will not be closed; however, drivers are urged to seek alternate routes. Motorists are advised to use caution while traveling in these areas and to expect delays. NCDOT reminds motorists to watch signs for construction information, stay alert and obey the posted speed limit.
