Bridge Work Requires Closure of the Intracoastal Waterway in Pender County

JACKSONVILLE – The Intracoastal Waterway will be closed to boating traffic south of the N.C. 50/210 Swing Bridge on Monday, Feb. 19 and Tuesday, Feb. 20.

The closure is needed for safety reasons as a Department of Transportation contractor will be installing girders across the Intracoastal for the new Surf City Bridge.

“We ask that boaters and other maritime interests please be patient during this installation,” said Jacksonville Resident Engineer Trevor Carroll. “Our contractor will be working to install these girders in a safe and timely manner.”
