The westbound lanes are closed, with New Hanover County Fire Rescue, the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, Piedmont Natural Gas, North Carolina Department of Transportation on the scene.
“At this time, there is no timeline for how long this repair will take,” a county spokesperson wrote to media in an update Thursday. “Residents and travelers are highly encouraged to avoid the area to allow crews to address the situation.”
