This is obviously a post targeted at a select group of people. But at the same time, I know a lot of folks come down I-40 through Raleigh when traveling to Ocean Lakes. At that point, they travel the same route I go for the most part. Typically, we take I-95 down to Exit 181 in SC and run 501 all the way to 544, then straight to Ocean Lakes.
We're headed down for a Halloween weekend this Friday. I-95 is trying to clear up and I still have four days to go. But 501 in Galivant's Ferry is struggling, too. If things aren't good this weekend, what would you do? DOT is recommending people take 1 down to Southern Pines, then 15-501 down to either 74 or all the way to South of the Border.
But I'm thinking take 40 to Wilmington and then 17. Take that by-pass around Myrtle Beach down to 544 or get off somewhere earlier and jump on 17.
Any suggestions or has anyone heard of good news for us regarding our traditional way to Ocean Lakes?
If you go your route..................
Our son lives in Wilmington everything for the most part is fine there but due to construction avoid southbound Rt 17 bridges Between the battleship and Leland from 4 to 7 PM due to traffic backups.
