WILMINGTON – The N.C. Department of Transportation plans to close a section of U.S. 17 in New Hanover County in one direction for about eight weeks.
Beginning at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25, the southbound lanes of Military Cutoff Road will be closed between Gordon Road and Station Road.
During this closure, transportation crews will be able to safely shift the southbound lanes of the road to allow utility work for the Arboretum West Development, a mixed-use community that will include apartments, townhomes and commercial space.
Road work is expected to be complete by Nov. 20.
No detour route will be provided during this period. All travelers are reminded to use caution, plan for delays in their commute and find alternate routes when possible.
