I-95 Carolina Hurricane Florence Highway Closures
Hurricane Florence has damaged many roads in NC \ SC. I would like to drive from Florida to Washington DC: the normal route is I-95. Is there an updated service (ideally with the Google Maps platform) that identifies where I-95 is damaged or impassable on a Map?
Any questions or edits to sharpen the question is appreciated.
Best Answer
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is the official source for that state. There is a page with real-time road closure information. This indicates that I-95 is currently closed between I-40 and I-74, except for a short stretch northeast of Fayetteville.
The South Carolina Department of Transportation also has an interactive road conditions map. This indicates that a stretch of I-95 is closed roughly between Dillon and Florence.
