Affected roads are Aaron Creek Church Road, Tom Hunt Road, Enon Road and Tar River Road, which will be assessed by DOT later today.
Closed due to washed-out pavement are Community Road and Smart Road.
Drivers in these areas should plan for extra travel time, due to detours, and are urged to use extreme caution.
