Bridge Information

Bridge Information

Bridge Information

 The Holden Beach Police Department will control access to the Holden Beach Bridge.


Times of the bridge's closing and reopening will be publicized in the same manner as the evacuation information (newsletter, website, social media, local radio and TV stations), but please note that the bridge can be closed with no notice depending on the severity of weather conditions.


The bridge will be closed to all traffic when high winds (45 mph sustained) and heavy rain make travel dangerous.


Once closed, the bridge will not re-open until the storm has passed and a safety assessment has been conducted. Only properly identified personnel will be allowed access to the Island until the bridge is open to the public.


If there is severe damage on Holden Beach, re-entry may be strictly limited. Vehicle decals will be required if re-entry is limited. Specific instructions will be provided through all possible media outlets. Click here for decal information.

After the Storm

Bridge Information

Bridge Information

 To determine when re-entry will be allowed, check the Town's website or official social media pages. Remember if the island is open to property owners only, you will need your vehicle decal to identify yourself. The key to a prompt re-entry is a vehicle decal. Put it on your vehicle now if you have not already done so.


Be patient with Town officials in the event there are delays getting back onto the island. Your safety is our priority. No one other than personnel will be allowed back onto the island until we are assured it is safe.

Once you are allowed onto the island, go immediately to your property only. Check for damage. Beware of electrical wires, nails, broken glass and other debris that may be hazardous. Check for spoiled food items, water leaks, etc.


Notify your insurance agent of any damage. Make temporary repairs as required to secure and make your property safe from further damage. Beware of people coming to you with "good deals" to make needed repairs. You can check with the Inspections Department at (910) 842-6080 to certify the credibility of contractors.
