LELAND – Sections of two Brunswick County highways and multiple ramps are being repaved this summer, giving drivers a smoother ride.
Drivers can expect lane closures over the next six weeks on parts of U.S. 17 and U.S. 74/76 as contract crews resurface. The following areas are scheduled to be updated:
- U.S. 17 from the N.C. 133 interchange to U.S. 74/76
- U.S. 74/76 from U.S. 17 to Mercantile Drive
- Exit ramp from U.S. 17 North to N.C. 133
- Four ramps at U.S. 74/76 interchange with Mount Misery Road
Crews repaving U.S. 17 and its exit ramp to N.C. 133 can work 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day of the week. On the other portions to be repaved, crews can work every day but Saturday and not between 6:30 – 8 a.m. and 4-6 p.m.
The N.C. Department of Transportation encourages drivers to use caution and slow down throughout the work zones and when possible, seek an alternate route.
