North Carolina officials said that as of 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, 455 road closures remained throughout the Tar Heel State because of flooding created by Hurricane Florence making landfall more than a week ago.

But in one of the hardest hit areas — Wilmington, N.C. — vehicles will be crossing the block again. Cox Automotive sent a note to Auto Remarketing on Monday morning confirming that Manheim Wilmington has reopened. The facility plans to host its next sale on Friday.

While consignment will resume within miles of the Atlantic Ocean, the National Automobile Dealers Association shared how the impact on members in the Carolinas has been significant. The association reiterated that dealership employees affected by any natural disaster including Florence can apply here for financial assistance from the NADA Foundation.

Sims Floyd, executive vice president of the South Carolina Automobile Dealers Association told NADA: “A lot of people are out of their homes. A lot of dealership employees are in and out trying to take care of their homes, so we’re dealing with that.

“And it looks like we’re going to deal with that for a while more,” Floyd added in a blog post compiled by NADA.

Perhaps a bright spot for auctions and dealers beyond the Carolinas, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper announced on Sunday night that Interstate 95 throughout North Carolina is now open to all traffic.

Cooper said floodwaters that covered the interstate following Florence receded quicker than expected, allowing the North Carolina Department of Transportation to complete the inspections and repairs needed to reopen the road.

“I-95 is a major artery for North Carolina and the entire East Coast that’s essential for commerce,” Cooper said. “Our state DOT crews and engineers have worked around the clock to get this critical interstate open ahead of schedule and reduce traffic in areas still needed for critical life-saving missions.”
