Reopening of Portion of NC 211

October 10

A portion of Brunswick County’s N.C. 211 will reopen to traffic ahead of schedule after an existing bridge was damaged by a storm last month.

The N.C. 211 bridge over the canal just north of Southport is scheduled to reopen to traffic mid-morning on Oct. 10.

It closed Sept. 16 after a large amount of rain fell and caused extensive damage to the bridge prompting the N.C. Department of Transportation and its contractor to construct a detour onto the new bridge over the canal.

When the highway reopens, drivers will utilize the new alignment and bridge and then back onto the main roadway. Barricades, signs and pavement markings will guide drivers through this new traffic pattern.

Drivers should note the N.C. 211 bridge at Dutchman Creek, which was also damaged beyond repair by the same storm, remains closed. Traffic will be directed to take Dosher Cutoff SE to N.C. 87.

NCDOT and contract crews are also diligently working at this location and are hopeful to have it reopened by the end of the month. The department will notify the public ahead of it reopening too.

Both sections of roadway impacted by the storm are part of the project to widen N.C. 211.
