Repairs on the roads, in Wake, Granville and Franklin counties, could take up to several weeks.
Among them is Nottingham Court, in Franklin County just north of the Wake County line. It is the only Triangle-area road where residents still cannot drive to their houses. About a dozen people have to park, then walk through the washed-out roadwork area.
"My main concern is, God forbid, we have an emergency situation here where we need a fire truck or an ambulance," said Vincent Yannetti. "How do we get the person down or the rescuers up?"
DOT crews need to install eight metal drainage pipes that are about 7 feet 6 inches tall, to get the road back open.

A similar scene still exists in Cary on Seabrook Avenue, where crews expect it to take several weeks to repair the washed out road.
Other roads still in need of repair include:
