The section between NC 151 Milepost 405.5 (southern closure) and NC 191 Milepost 393.6 (Northern closure) is the closed section.
One detour from the South:
Both NC 215 then a bit to the North US 276 are the two last Southern bailouts. Looking at the squiggly lines,
US276 is the major rollercoaster that would have you detouring (on NC 110) to the very South side of Canton then heading East on US19/23 to turn onto NC 112 (Southeast) which will bring you to the Northern side of the closure at NC 191 head SouthEast to the BRP.
Regarding road work, I was just on the section from Roanoke to Waynesboro. Not any paving BUT lot's of guard rail construction. On corners. with commiserate yellow sand everywhere! Beware!
