WILMINGTON – Some downtown traffic patterns will temporarily change this weekend to help ease congestion during preservation work on the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge.
At the City of Wilmington’s request, on Jan. 27 at 8 a.m., the N.C. Department of Transportation will place barricades on 3rd Street at the intersections with Queen, Church, Nun and Orange streets. These barricades will prohibit left turns for drivers on 3rd Street, and will redirect the side-street traffic into turning right onto 3rd Street. Drivers needing to make a left turn at one of these streets will need to go to the next traffic signal on 3rd Street.
This traffic change is anticipated to help minimize the congestion on 3rd Street. The intersections will remain in this pattern until the preservation project is complete.
