WILMINGTON — The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is continuing its work on the Isabel Holmes Bridge this weekend and closures are expected.
Crews are working on the bridge’s preservation project, according to the NCDOT.
“The Isabel Holmes Bridge, which carries U.S. 74 and N.C. 133 across the Northeast Cape Fear River, is scheduled to close at 9 p.m. June 12 and reopen by 5 a.m. June 15. If crews are unable to complete the work or if weather becomes an issue, the backup dates would be the following weekend,” according to a press release from the NCDOT.
Crews are pouring a new concrete deck on the bridge as well as working on steel repairs as well as painting if time permits.
“Drivers will follow a signed detour over the weekend and should give themselves extra time for their commute. Motorists should also slow down while near the work zone,” according to a press release.
