A stretch of North Carolina Highway 12 remains closed after ocean water washed over parts of the road, keeping sections impassable to traffic. NC12 is the main route along the Outer Banks, so closures cut off access between communities and force detours for residents and visitors. Officials have not given a timeline for reopening while conditions are assessed.
