A map of the latest known road closures and their current status is available via the link above. We have also heard several questions concerning some mobile map applications not correctly displaying closed roads. Please take caution and check Brunswick County’s online map and the North Carolina Department of Transportation's DriveNC.gov online map before traveling to ensure you are following accurate, safe routes.
Brunswick County is receiving several questions about when our roads and highways will reopen, including US-17 and NC-133. Unfortunately, it is hard to tell when floodwaters may recede to allow people to pass through—and even then, the roads will still need to be inspected to ensure they are safe to travel on. Several roads in the county were damaged and will require repairs before they can be traveled on again. NCDOT is currently working to assess roads and bridges that are not currently flooded.
Turn Around, Don’t Drown! Never drive, walk, or swim through flooded roadways or past barricades on roads. You never know how deep the water is or if the road has been washed away or weakened beneath the water. Remember, just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down and 12 inches of moving water can sweep your vehicle away.
Before you leave, check for active road incidents on North Carolina Department of Transportation's DriveNC.gov map (using the Potential Tropical Cyclone filter), the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office, NC’s social media pages and mobile app, and local municipal pages.
