By Jefferson Weaver [email protected]

Repairs to two major roadways in the wake of Hurricane Matthew are being called “long term” projects. Unprecedented flooding of the Lumber River in the wake of Matthew caused major damages to the U.S. 74 interchange at Boardman, shutting down the county’s primary east west route at the Robeson county line. Traffic has been restored to most of the highway, but Boardman remains impassable and, as of Friday, largely unapproachable. “We have to wait for the water to go down and have some drying before it can be properly evaluated,” said Drew Cox of the N.C. Department of Transportation. Water began receding at Boardman Friday, Cox said, but not enough for in- spectors to safely get in to the bridge and see what needs to be done. Pavement and upper surfaces have crumbled and buckled in at least one section. The primary north-south route, U.S. 701, was washed out at Western Prong, necessitating a winding detour up roads not designed for major truck traffic. Crews were widening the detour route along Wooten Store Road and N.C. Staff photo by Nicole Cartrette 130, and resurfacing of the road will be required, Cox said. Governor Pat McCrory speaks with residents, business owners, and relief workers Friday at Fair Bluff. “That detour will be in place for some time,” Cox explained. The passage over a branch of Western Prong Swamp was routed through six pipes, Cox said. “They haven’t built like that for years,” he said. “We will have a design-build team in there as soon as possible, but it likely will require a bridge.” Neither the repairs to U.S. 74 nor U.S. 701 will be done quickly, Cox said.
