PENDER COUNTY, N.C. (WECT) – A local road in Pender County will close for about six months to allow N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) crews to safely replace a bridge.
Old Mill Road is set to close where it crosses Sills Creek starting Nov. 16, according to NCDOT. The new bridge is expected to open in May, weather permitting.
NCDOT says a signed detour will be in place following Wallace Airport and Willard roads to help drivers access points on either side of the closure.
“Drivers should be mindful of crews working in this area and factor the detour into their commutes,” NCDOT officials said.
