Road on Popular Route to Beach is Closed until March 9th
Posted On Sunday, February 19, 2012
Those heading to the beach in the next month should be aware that Ocean Isle Beach Road is temporarily closed between US 17 and the island. A sewer line is being rerouted and a pipe under the road is being replaced during a three week construction project.
Some alternatives to reach the beach:
If you are heading south on US 17 to OIB, take the Highway 130 exit east in Shallotte. Follow that approximately 1.5 miles until the 2nd light, and then bear right onto Village Road (Highway 179). Follow 179 approximately 6 miles until you take a left onto Causeway Drive at the island.
If you are heading north on US 17 to OIB, turn right at Highway 904 (there's a McDonalds on the corner). Follow that road about 4 miles until taking a left at the 2nd light onto Beach Drive (Highway 179). Then take a right at the next light (roughly 4 miles) onto Causeway Drive at the island.
Give the Sunset Properties office a call at 910-575-8603 with any questions on this.
