SOUTHPORT, N.C. – A portion of N.C. 133 (Long Beach Road) in Brunswick County will reopen early next week with a newly constructed bridge open to traffic.
N.C. 133 is expected to reopen Oct. 20, weather permitting. The new bridge over N.C. 211, along with other improvements to N.C. 133, is designed to increase connectivity and help relieve congestion in the growing area. This work is part of the larger, ongoing N.C. 211 widening project.
Construction began in November 2024 after delays due to Potential Tropical Cyclone 8, which impacted the south coastal region last fall.
To learn more about the project to widen more than seven miles of N.C. 211, visit the NCDOT webpage.

Posted November 7, 2024 | Read Original Release on NCDOT Website
SOUTHPORT, N.C. – As part of the N.C. 211 widening project underway in Brunswick County, a portion of N.C. 133 (Long Beach Road) is scheduled to close next week.
The road near Southport-Supply Road is anticipated to close Nov. 11 and reopen by fall 2025 while an N.C. Department of Transportation contractor makes several improvements, including the construction of a bridge over N.C. 211.
Drivers needing to get around the construction will be detoured onto Old Long Beach Road. Drivers should be alert to the new traffic pattern and slowdown in the area.
This project was originally scheduled to begin in mid-September but was postponed due to severe weather that impacted the area.
