BURGAW – A Pender County bridge is scheduled to close to traffic next week for maintenance.
Both directions of Malpass Corner Road near U.S. 421 will close at 8 a.m. Jan. 6. It will reopen by 5 p.m. Jan. 9. N.C. Department of Transportation crews will repair the concrete bridge deck over Long Creek.
During the closure, drivers will need to seek alternate routes such as U.S. 421 and N.C. 53 W.
Drivers should plan ahead, as their commute may take longer than normal, and use caution if traveling near the work site.
