G. V. Barbee Bridge, Road bridge in Oak Island, North Carolina, United States

The G. V. Barbee Bridge carries NC 133 across the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway between Oak Island and the mainland. It is 4,250 feet long and 65 feet high at its peak, with 37 concrete girder main spans and 28 hollow core concrete slab approach spans. The deck is 32 feet wide, with two traffic lanes and a pullout lane on each side.

When the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway was completed in the late 1930s, a swingbridge provided access to Oak Island. A barge strike destroyed it in 1971; construction of a high-rise replacement named after Oak Island resident G. V. Barbee began in 1972 and opened to traffic in 1975, with a ferry and pontoon bridge used in the interim.

The bridge is named after G. V. Barbee, a distinguished Oak Island resident. Before the high-rise span opened, island access depended on a swingbridge, then briefly on a ferry and a pontoon bridge after the 1971 barge strike.

The crossing is mainly accessible for drivers and provides a direct route between Oak Island and the mainland. Traffic can be heavier during peak times, especially in summer months when visitors arrive.

The bridge is named after G. V. Barbee, a distinguished Oak Island resident. Its 2019 barrier rails are structurally similar to those on the Swain's Cut Bridge further west, a detail visible to drivers crossing both structures.
