Parking deck at 2nd Street closing for repairs starting Monday, August 4

Down Ballot Staff Reports

According to a news release, the New Hanover County-owned parking deck at 212 North 2nd Street will be closed to allow for essential structural repairs starting on Monday, August 4. The parking deck is located between Chestnut and Grace streets.

To expedite the process, the entire deck will be inaccessible for the duration of the work, which is expected to take 4-6 weeks to complete. A tentative reopening of the facility is anticipated for mid-September and further details will be shared publicly when they become available.

Information about alternative parking arrangements for monthly pass holders, individuals called for jury duty, and hotel users in downtown Wilmington has been shared with those impacted. 

This closure aligns with the final day of operation for the Main Public Library in downtown Wilmington, which will close after regular business hours (1-5 p.m.) on Sunday, August 3, in preparation for staff to work on transitioning to the new Grace District facility, which will open in October. Details of that closure are outlined in this press release.

Publicly accessible parking decks managed by the City of Wilmington are available at 114 North 2nd Street and 115 Market Street, as well as on-street parking and other privately operated surface lots throughout downtown. Additional information about parking in downtown Wilmington is available at the city’s website.
