Sandy Halts Auto Transport in the North East
Hurricane Sandy has reigned havoc over the east coast causing unthinkable damage to the region and the auto transport and trucking industry are now experiencing the after effects. Road closures across the region have halted freight/auto shipments altogether in most areas throughout the east. Shippers in this region should expect delays for pickups and deliveries for upwards to 2 weeks, depending on their location.
State Department of Transportation crews are starting to chip away at state highways closed by flooding and fallen trees and utility poles due to the storm, but officials said there’s a lot of work to be done.
“We’re seeing some of the numbers decrease. As we knock some roads off, others get added. Our crews are fixing problems where they can. In some places, we can’t, and have to wait for the water to recede.” said Joe Dee, NJDOT spokesman.
Officials are expecting all major routes and bridges to be open by the end of this week.
The states affected by the storm are: Virginia, District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine ,The West Virginia counties of: Jefferson, Brooke, Marshall, Ohio, Hancock, Wetzel, Barbour, Lewis, Upshur, Nicholas, Webster, Pocahontas, Randolph, Harrison, Tucker, Greenbrier, Preston, Doddridge, Gilmer, Braxton, Ritchie, Tyler, Taylor, Marion, Monongalia, Grant, Mineral, Hardy, Pendleton. and The North Carolina counties of: Beaufort, Bertie, Bladen, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Chowan, Columbus, Craven, Cumberland, Currituck, Dare, Duplin, Edgecombe, Gates, Greene, Halifax, Harnett, Hertford, Hoke, Hyde, Johnston, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, Nash, New Hanover, Onslow, Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender, Perquimans, Pitt, Robeson, Sampson, Tyrrell, Washington, Wayn.
