Safety Improvements Coming to Brunswick County Bridge

​LELAND – To improve safety on a Brunswick County bridge, the N.C. Department of Transportation will need to close a lane of U.S. 74 overnight for about a month.

The left eastbound lane of the highway over U.S. 17 near the Battleship will be closed overnight between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. beginning Feb. 25. The closures will take place Sunday nights through Friday mornings each week through March 29. The right lane will remain open at all times.

Crews will replace an outdated guardrail system with a concrete wall. 

Drivers should slow down and be alert for crews and equipment going through this work zone.
This work is imperative while the eastbound lanes of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge are closed for preservation work.
