The Essential Traffic Only notice has been lifted in WNC. However, truckers need to be aware of closures on the NC-TN borders on I-40 and I-26. Click here for detour information. See the latest updates on road closures here, https://drivenc.gov.
     Leicester Hwy. 63 (to our plant) is currently showing as closed except for local traffic only. However, USPS, FedEx, UPS and up to 30' freight-load carriers have been accessing our location for the last couple weeks.
     Trucks over 30' long are being advised by NC DOT not to use Google Maps, Waze or Apple Maps in the hurricane-affected areas as they are directing trucks to areas where they are getting stuck.
     Power, internet and cell service have been restored for most of the region. Water service is mostly back online now in neighboring Buncombe County, but is still under a boil water notice. Many restaurants are reopening as well.
     As we turn our focus toward cleanup and rebuilding, exercise caution when driving in the area as piles of storm debris are being collected on the roadsides and curbs.
