Carolina natives, I read this the other day. I have not seen any dates for the north bound side. Are you folks hearing anything?
COLUMBIA, SC —
Road conditions are improving by the day in South Carolina, but hundreds of bridges and roads remained impassable Monday, eight days after historic rains and floods devastated much of the Midlands.
The southbound lanes of Interstate 95, a major north-south corridor along the Eastern Seaboard, reopened Monday. However, the northbound lanes remained closed in the Florence area as S.C. Department of Transportation officials worked to shore up bridges.
“We originally sent 200 truckloads of concrete (for I-95’s northbound lanes), but we’ve had to add 70 truckloads to that,” said Gov. Nikki Haley at her noon briefing Monday.
As of noon Monday, 322 roads across the state were deemed impassable – a figure that included 98 bridges, according to the Transportation Department.
The South Carolina Department of Transportation has identified nine bridges along a closed portion of Interstate 95, including washed out areas around bridge foundations caused by recent flood waters. Below is the current list of I-95 road closures in South Carolina as of October 10, 2015.
