Theres so many other roads that kim smith sent yesterday from fayettville. They havent seen anything like this since floyd. They are waiting if for the waters to reseed to find what to do. Were waiting for the waters to reseed. We dont have a good idea of what the idea is there. A lot of rural areas with long term closures. Theres not so many great options. You have to go way out of your go. The detour may be closed. Even if it looks dry the road may not be flooded but the ground beneath it may not be there in serious danger of collapse. They put the barricades there for a reason. Obey them. Keith repeating the reminder. 95. The detour roots south bound traffic through benson and done. Highways 242 and 301, the traffic flows back on the interstate at jonesboro road. Theyre working on cross over roads that will shift traffic on the interstate. Once the shift is complete, repair work can begin and that it is unclear when waters reseed allowing traffic to flow again. Looking around the triangle. Thanks, 8 04 now. Taking a look at cameras.
