A road in Wake County washed away by heavy rain last summer remains closed months later. Billy Hopkins Road is in the rural Hopkins Chapel community. The road closed after culverts broke apart and drifted downstream. Pete Barbrey reached out to CBS 17 hoping to get answers from the North Carolina Department of Transportation about when it will be fixed. He’s been taking a three-mile detour when his drive should be less than a mile to Zebulon Road. Barbrey said he’s more worried about how the road closure is impacting farmers he knows. “One farmer lives right here and has to go all the way around, three miles just to go to his farm,” said Barbrey.
