State troopers said one person died in a crash that closed all lanes of Interstate
95 on Monday.
The crash happened along I-95 near Long Branch Road.
Officials have not released the name of the person who died or if there were
any additional injuries.
It is unclear what caused the crash.
I-95 has since reopened.
The southbound lanes of Interstate 95 in Johnston County are closed due to a crash.
The crash and closure are in between Exits 102 (toward E Main Street) and 105 (toward Bagley Road), east of Selma.
Johnston County deputies are investigating a crash that involved two 18-wheel tractor-trailers. State Highway Patrol said the driver of the truck that is completely destroyed was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The other driver is okay.
SHP is still investigating how the crash happened.
The WRAL Breaking News Tracker saw a severely damaged truck cab next to a pretty intact tractor-trailer. There are packages and debris strewn on the side of the road.
According to traffic alerts, the road closed around 6 a.m. It’s expected to fully reopen just after 8 a.m.
Drivers can take U.S. Highway 301 to detour around the I-95 south closure.
The 700 block of N. Blount Street in Raleigh is closed Monday morning until the afternoon for repairs.
Raleigh Water is currently on site to perform repairs to the water distribution system. They said a full street closure is needed to ensure the safety of the crews and the public. The timeline for the repairs and closure is being assessed, and will depend on weather and other factors.
As of their latest alert Monday morning, the repair is expected to be completed by 4 p.m.
The detour will close 702 N. Blount Street at Wake Forest Road. Drivers are asked to detour:
The intersection of Franklin and N. Blount streets will be closed. Further updates will be issued as the repair progresses.
A water main break has closed a section of Blue Ridge Road in Raleigh until at least Monday afternoon.
Early Sunday, all lanes in the 3900 block of Blue Ridge Road, about 0.5 miles from Crabtree Valley Mall, were closed near Nova Star Lane for repairs, according to the city.
The estimated repair timeline is 2 p.m. on Monday, according to the city.
It could impact the Monday morning commute. Raleigh Water Assistant Director Ed Buchan says it could be this way for a while.
“We’re waiting right now for some replacement pipe and parts, and then we’re going to see about the repaving schedule,” Buchan said. “We may be able to get it back in service [Monday], but I wouldn’t be surprised if it extends into Tuesday or Wednesday.”
A detour was posted. Drivers traveling northbound on Blue Ridge Road should:
Traffic traveling southbound on Blue Ridge Road should:
Buchan said a 12-inch pipe borke on Saturday night. It’s unclear why.
According to Buchan, the water main break caused two houses and an apartment complex to be without water or have low water pressure for several hours.
“It’s a pretty deep excavation to get to the pipe, so you’re going to have to bring in a lot of fill material to bring it back up to grade, and then the pavement is pretty thick,” Buchan said.
Buchan said he’s thankful the break wasn’t worse.
“I think this is about average,” he said. “We were a little concerned about whether it impacted the culvert underneath it. It didn’t seem to have done that.”
Previously on Sunday, the city of Raleigh posted:
“The timeline for this repair and closure is
currently being assessed and is dependent on weather and other factors. Further details will be issued as
repair progresses. Raleigh Water appreciates
the public’s patience and cooperation as crews work to resolve this issue as
quickly and safely as possible.”
