WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – Restaurant owners say the traffic congestion from the CFMB eastbound lane closure is causing many people to pass on eating in downtown Wilmington. Restaurants like Cousins Italian Deli, located on Third St. across from the New Hanover County Courthouse, are being hit hard. January and February are typically slow months for restaurants in town, but the closures have made it even worse.
