North Carolina Department of Transportation officials have closed a bridge in Lenoir along Abington Road near West Lenoir Baptist Church indefinitely after discovering issues with the beams during a bi-annual inspection, department spokesman Andrew Glasco said.
Drivers will need to use Beecher Anderson Road to connect to Abington Road, Glasco said.
He added that the hope is to re-open the bridge to car traffic within two weeks. The bridge is on a list to be re-placed within the next year. Glasco said the schedule likely will be moved up.
