Drivers in Brunswick County and the Wilmington area can expect delays over the next several weeks as crews resume construction improvements along a stretch of Interstate 140.
North Carolina Department of Transportation contractors will close lanes daily starting Monday along a 6-mile stretch of the interstate between U.S. 17 and U.S. 74.

One lane will remain open in each direction.
The road improvement project, which began last year, includes milling and resurfacing, rumble strip installation, pavement marking installation, guardrail improvements and bridge rehabilitation on both eastbound and westbound lanes.
All lanes will reopen once work is complete, which is expected by early May.
DOT encourages drivers to slow down and remain alert through the construction zone, and to consider alternate routes to avoid travel delays.
