Hey folks, Wednesday I'm taking a trip from Maryland to Florida. Of course I planned on taking 95 the entire way but, wasn't sure how things were in the flooded NC areas. I heard part of 95 was shut down and the detours took traffic on a few different routes. Does the detour route slow traffic down a lot or is it just a bump in the road. Should I plan on taking 301 instead of 95? All help is appreciated.

To avoid congestion on the provided detour route, motorists entering North Carolina from Virginia on I-95 are encouraged to use the following alternate routes:
All southbound traffic from North Carolina/Virginia state line should travel south on I-95 to US-64 West
Once on US-64 West, travel west toward I-440 West
Once on I-440 West, motorists will travel to US-1 South
From US-1 South, motorists will continue to US-501 South in Aberdeen/Southern Pines
Continue on US-501 South through Aberdeen toward US-74 East
Motorists will then travel US-74 East to I-95 Southjmconneely Thanks this. -
And yes, detours will always slow things down.
More miles around and non interstate roads.jmconneely Thanks this. -
More info, could suggest midnight driving to avoid traffic but whatever floats your boat! Boom! Pun intended!
NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
My recommendation to you is to run 95 to Richmond, then work your way onto 85 which will be still southbound at some point past Petersburg in the big pine woods.
Stay on 85 until you are into South Carolina then work your way back onto 95 not north of Savannah.
Just think that the 40 miles or so of 95 is completely messed up and it's not worth the time, detours and effort to battle though there. It will be weeks before it's wide open and flowing, that is; we don't get hit by another hurricane this season. -
Thanks for all of your tips and suggestions. I Will probably hit 85 to avoid being slowed down too much. Safe travels everyone.
