I-85 update

A tractor-trailer accident this morning on I-85 at the 6 mile marker has closed the interstate for northbound traffic.  And, within the last moments, a report from Fair Play Volunteer Fire Department indicates uncertainty over how long a section of 85 will be closed.  Northbound motorists are meeting the detour at the 4 mile marker.  We’ve heard from one motorist who wound up detouring onto 243.  He says there is a lengthy backup of traffic on 243 headed to 24, where the 85 traffic can rejoin the interstate at exit 11.
