Onslow Beach Bridge Closure – Wally Moran
Onslow Beach Bridge Closure
I’m being told there is a great deal of confusion over the Onslow Beach Bridge closure.
I just spoke with the bridge to help a new cruiser out, and here is the story.
You can pass through the bridge from noon to 1 pm Monday to Friday, or before 8 am and after 5 pm. On federal holidays, such as Thanksgiving, and on weekends, the bridge operates on its regular schedule, at the top of the hour.
If you are unable to adjust your passage to fit these times, you can proceed through the bridge on arrival after phoning and providing 24 hour notice to the onsite project foreman.
The foreman’s number – I thought you’d never ask! It’s 910-520-1319.
Here’s my suggestion – move to Swansboro, and then either tie up at the city dock, or Caspars, or anchor out. Head over to the Bake Bottle and Brew for a cold drink, it’s a fun spot.
The distance from Swansboro to the Onslow Beach Bridge is 11 statute miles, so leave Swansboro at 9:30 am, you’ll make it to the bridge in plenty of time to clear on the noon hour.
Please share this with your friends and on other boating sites so the word gets out.–
