Exciting Road Updates for Kill Devil Hills Residents!
Hey there, Kill Devil Hills! We’ve got some important news that could affect your travels around town this week. If you’re planning to hit the roads, make sure to mark your calendars for some temporary closures that are set to take place.
Wrightsville Boulevard Closure
First up, we’ll have a temporary road closure on Wrightsville Boulevard. This is happening on Monday, October 14, 2024, starting at 8:00 a.m.. The closure will be at the intersection with E. Baum Street to allow for crucial utility and roadway improvements being carried out by Hatchell Concrete Inc.
For those who may be worried about getting to your homes, don’t fret! Wrightsville Boulevard will still be open for local access. If you live north of the intersection, you can get to your home via E. Goddard Avenue. On the flip side, if you’re south of the intersection, just use E. Baum Street. The plans indicate that the street is expected to reopen around 5:00 p.m. the same day. So, it’s just a short interruption!
East Baum Street Closure
Next, let’s talk about East Baum Street, which will also have a temporary closure. This will take place starting at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, and will last until Wednesday, October 16, 2024. Just like with Wrightsville, this closure will occur at the intersection of Wrightsville Boulevard, and is also part of the same utility and roadway improvements.
Good news for residents! East Baum Street will remain accessible for local traffic. If you need to access homes west of the intersection, you can go through US 158. For those east of the intersection, just make your way via South Virginia Dare Trail. You can expect this street to open back up by 5:00 p.m. on October 16, giving you just a bit of time to plan around it.
