I-95 travel thru NC/SC

Emergency workers and first responders would probably like tourists to stay away. Yeah, it's too soon.

As of right now, I-20 is closed near Bishopville between where you get off I-95 in Florence, SC, and Columbia, SC. I-95 appears to be OK. I wouldn't be headed that way, myself, though.

I was planning on going to Richmond next week. Looks like the worst of the storm missed them but the roads from Florida to Va might be a different story; clogged with people going back home even if the road itself is OK (thinking I-95).

It would be REALLY nice if the national media would actually give out some useful information......rather than just showing pictures of flooded houses and blown down trees for days on end.

leaving next week for so. jersey and was wondering if we should go 95 or the long way on 75/81

Check with the NCDOT for road conditions. They have I95 posted as closed near Fayetteville on the website.

I don't know if you have looked at the track for Florence yet but I wouldn't be headed to the northeast corridor anytime before next Wednesday by which time what's left of the storm should be near Nova Scotia. By then I would expect that I-95 through the Carolinas would also be cleared and open unless major damage was done by the storm which would require detours. Since I-95 is the major artery up the east coast, it will be a priority and the different state DOT offices should keep their site updated on its condition.

95 Closed MM364 to MM369 due to flooding right now until further notice. May be other sections in NC. Chuck

75 mile section closed both ways in NC on 95...something like exits139 to 65 ???

Years ago we drove down after Hugo.
Every road sign was knocked over for hundreds of miles. You better know your way around.

There is no such Mile Marker on I95 in NC or SC. NC is 182 miles long, SC is 198 miles long.

I saw a news story this morning where NC Governor asked people not to drive through NC.
