NC12 remains closed after ocean overwash damage
Original: NC12 remains closed in areas affected by ocean overwash
Highway 12, the main route along North Carolina's Outer Banks, remains closed in sections where ocean water washed over the road. Waves and overwash pushed sand and water across the pavement, and the state transportation department has not yet reopened the affected stretches. Drivers and residents are being told to use caution and expect delays until conditions improve.
Why now: Coastal flooding has cut off a key access road for Outer Banks communities, affecting travel and evacuations.
