The N.C. Department of Transportation continues to urge drivers to stay off the roads
September 16th, 2018
As of Sunday morning, there were more than 600 road closures across the state.
Travel is hazardous in North Carolina on all roads south of US 64 and east of I-73/74. Motorists should not drive in these areas.
GPS systems are routing users into areas NCDOT is not recommending for travel.
To avoid North Carolina if traveling south on I-95 drivers should use I-64 West in Virginia to I-81 south, to I-75 south in Tennessee to I-16 East in Georgia back to I-95.
This is an extremely long detour, but it is the detour that offers the lowest risk of flooding at this time.
Through traffic from I-95 in Georgia is advised to use I-16 West to I-75 North to I-81 North to I-64 East back to I-95 in Virginia.
If you are already in North Carolina on I-95 you may use US 64 west to I-540 west to I-40 west to I-85 south into South Carolina.
Follow South Carolina DOT instructions to return to I-95.
Conditions are constantly changing please check back before you travel.
Motorists are advised not to travel on I-40 between I-95 and Wilmington due to the uncertainty of flooding conditions.
As the situation is rapidly changing NCDOT is doing our best to report these closures.
