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. Motorists travelling through the affected stretches face detours until crews can clear sand and water and confirm the roadway is safe. NC12 is regularly vulnerable to overwash during coastal storms and high tides.
Why now: Travelers and Outer Banks residents need up-to-date road access information after coastal flooding.
