PENDER COUNTY — A road in Wallace will be closed for roughly six months starting mid-November. Crews for the N.C. Department of Transportation will be working to replace a bridge.
Old Mill Road at Sills Creek is set to close Nov. 16 as construction begins; it’s expected to wrap by May, weather permitting. Detours will be in place near the Wallace Airport and Willard roads area so drivers can access points on either side.
Motorists driving through the area should proceed with caution and be aware of worker safety, while also allowing extra time as needed for detours.
