WILMINGTON - The N.C. Department of Transportation plans to shift traffic in one direction for a section of U.S. 17 in New Hanover County for about eight weeks.
Beginning at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25, the southbound lanes of Military Cutoff Road (U.S. 17) will be shifted between Gordon Road and Station Road.
During this time, construction crews will be able to safely perform utility work for the Arboretum West Development, a mixed-use community that will include apartments, townhomes and commercial space.
At least two lanes will be maintained during construction so traffic can be safely shifted and motorists can continue using U.S. 17 southbound. The project is expected to be complete by Nov. 20.
No detour route will be provided during the eight-week period. All travelers are reminded to use caution, plan for delays in their commute and find alternate routes when possible.
