ROAD CLOSURE MAP
Information on travel to and from Oak Island is provided by NCDOT through the Drive NC Road Closure Map.
Information on street flooding WITHIN Oak Island continues to be updated through the OKI Street Closures Map.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: while it is now possible to get to Oak Island from US HWY 17, several neighboring communities have been impacted by damaged or completely destroyed roads.
As a result, traffic to other communities may be rerouting through Oak Island. At times, this can make for slow, heavily congested travel.
The Town of Oak Island states to plan a considerable amount of time beyond what it would normally take. Make sure vehicles have sufficient fuel / charge to accommodate potentially long wait times.
NEW FORECAST INFORMATION
The National Weather Service has issued a NEW Weather Briefing for the remainder of the week. While there is NO SEVERE WEATHER expected, this forecast does include additional rain, with minor coastal flooding expected during high tides at the coast and along the lower Cape Fear River.
Please be aware, this COULD further impact roads recovering from previous storm flooding.
