INGOLD – On Thursday morning, the bridge over Big Coharie Creek on Wrights Bridge Road will close temporarily in Sampson County.
The bridge will close as of 11 a.m. July 7 after a recent inspection, prompting a weight limit reduction. It will remain closed to traffic, until the N.C. Department of Transportation bridge maintenance staff can determine and execute the needed repairs.
Drivers will be detoured onto Ebenezer Forest, Norris, and Riley Town roads. NCDOT encourages drivers to use caution when driving near the closure and allow extra time to navigate the detour.
The department will notify the public when the bridge reopens.
