Moore County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release on Thursday morning at 8:00 a.m. that the road conditions are dangerous and are asking citizens to remain home if possible.

“Freezing temperatures have made Moore County Roads treacherous and conditions are not expected to improve until this afternoon. Road surfaces are icy making driving on ice chunks similar to driving over rocks,” said Sheriff Godfrey. “Primary roads are slick, secondary and tertiary roads are almost impassable without 4-wheel drive.”

In the news release, Sheriff Godfrey said that Northbound U.S. 1 in Pinebluff is closed due to semi-trucks being unable to travel up the hill.

 All Moore County offices are closed today, and the Sheriff’s Office and Law Enforcement will remain available around the clock.
