Fox Island will temporarily reopen. Southport and Fox Island residents will be allowed access tonight with restrictions:
• Residents will be allowed in from 5:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. at Burleigh Avenue and Downing Street
• 8:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. residents will only be allowed to leave.
• The only traffic permitted will be cars and light, pickup trucks—no semis or trailers will be permitted through this area to protect the structural integrity of the levee system.
Citizens are reminded to stay off the levees.
Burleigh County Officials thank the area residents for their patience and cooperation through the construction period which was delayed due to several interferences.
