Ocean overwash keeps North Carolina's Highway 12 closed on Pea Island
Original: Ocean overwash continues on Pea Island ahead of Tuesday afternoon's high tide; N.C. 12 remains closed
Ocean overwash is continuing across Pea Island on North Carolina's Outer Banks, with seawater again covering N.C. 12 ahead of Tuesday afternoon's high tide. The state highway remains closed to traffic while conditions persist, and officials are monitoring whether further flooding will extend the closure along the vulnerable stretch of Hatteras Island.
Why now: Coastal flooding is disrupting the only through road on Hatteras Island, affecting travelers and residents ahead of the afternoon high tide.
