⚠️ C. L. O. S. E. D. ⚠️

Due to numerous motorists finding themselves in the ditch, Old Fayetteville Road between Basin Street and Skipper Street has been closed. Old Fayetteville Road is a DOT maintained road, and we are working with them to coordinate signage. In the meantime, if you must be on the roads, (which we highly encourage you not to be) you’ll need to find another alternate route.

❄️🚨 STAY HOME-STAY SAFE-STAY ALIVE 🚨❄️

❄️🚨 ICY WARNING: STAY HOME! 🚨❄️

The sun has gone down here in Brunswick County, and with sub-freezing temperatures, the roads have turned into a solid sheet of ice. 🧊❌
It’s simple: the roads are dangerous. Even experienced drivers can’t outmaneuver black ice, and it’s not worth the risk.
👉 Stay home.👉 Stay warm.👉 Stay safe.
Let’s all do our part to keep everyone safe tonight. The safest place you can be right now is off the roads and inside where it’s cozy.
We’ll be out here keeping watch—so you don’t have to. ❤️

01/22/2025

With tonight's lows expected to plunge into the teens or even single digits, any moisture on the roads will quickly refreeze to ice. Travel will be hazardous on secondary roads and even some primary highways.

If you must travel tonight, check road conditions ahead of time at driveNC.gov or 511SC.org

Snow and ice have cause the Holden Beach Bridge to freeze, creating a hazard to motorists. A near collision and loss of control has pushed us to make the tough decision to close the bridge to all traffic. We will advise the public as soon as conditions allow for safer travel.
