BATH - The N.C. Department of Transportation will close a lane of a Beaufort County road to replace and rebuild a new bridge.
A lane of Hawkins Beach Road, which is near Camp Leech Road and Duck Creek, is now closed through the beginning of September. This lane closure will allow crews to safely remove the existing bridge and build a new one.
One lane will always be open for traffic to eliminate the need for a detour. NCDOT has an automated light signal to help drivers safely share that open lane during the project.
Drivers are should anticipate needing extra time and use extreme caution while crews are working.
