Parts of North Carolina Highway 12 closed by ocean overwash
Original: NCDOT says parts of NC12 remain closed due to ocean over wash
The North Carolina Department of Transportation says sections of NC 12, the main route along the Outer Banks, remain closed after ocean overwash covered parts of the road. Drivers are being warned to expect disruptions until crews can clear sand and water and confirm the highway is safe to reopen. NC 12 is the only road linking many Outer Banks communities, so closures typically affect residents, visitors and emergency access.
Why now: Ocean overwash has closed a key route on the Outer Banks, disrupting travel for residents and tourists.
