TRAFFIC ALERT: Overnight Deck Repairs Set to Start July 18 on the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge

Motorists who travel on the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge over the Cape Fear River should expect intermittent lane closures starting Tuesday, July 18. The closures are needed so Department of Transportation crews can repair the metal grates on the deck of the bridge.

The closures will be in place from 9 p.m. on Tuesday until 5 a.m. Wednesday night. One lane will remain open at all times.

There will not be a detour, but travelers should expect delays. Transportation officials encourage drivers to use caution through the work zone.
