May 24: If you are north of Jacksonville, whatever you do, avoid I-95: Large Wildfire to Jacksonville's north

[JohnD]

There is a large wildfire north of Jacksonville and I-295. Traffic is a mess. If you're traveling to WDW from the north along the Eastern seaboard, find an alternate route.

The one time I'm glad I'm not on my way and run into that standing line of vehicles. Nothing worse than getting into the state of FL and you are thinking every mile is closer to the resort and parks, only to hit gridlock.

Any chance you could put a date in the title of this thread so people don't look at it a week or so later and panic?

Done. By the way. Still not out. I’m at the beach near there. It’s about 60% contained.

Now 70% contained as of 5/28.

While the fire is still going, I don't think there there will be any more lane closures from this fire. Admins may want to remove or turn off this post.
