A portion of Wayne Memorial Drive has been shut down until further notice due to heavy rains in the area, said North Carolina State Highway Patrol Sgt. J.K. Whitley around 4:45 p.m. this afternoon.
The road is closed from Stoney Creek Church Road to Saulston Road due to severe flooding, Whitley said.
"We're having to pull cars out of there," Whitley said. "There are about three areas there that are completely underwater."
Traffic will be rerouted down Stoney Creek Church Road to Daw Pate Road and across to N.C. 111, Whitley said.
There is no word on when the road will reopen.
