Parts of North Carolina's NC12 closed by ocean overwash
Original: NCDOT says parts of NC12 remain closed due to ocean overwash
The North Carolina Department of Transportation says sections of Highway 12, the main route along the Outer Banks, remain closed after ocean water washed over the road. Drivers are being kept off the affected stretches while crews assess conditions and wait for water to recede. Travelers in the area should expect delays and check updates before heading north or south along the barrier islands.
Why now: Ocean overwash is disrupting a key coastal highway, affecting travel plans for residents and visitors.
