NCDOT opens 1 lane of NC-12; Ferry routes resume normal schedules

Posted: Updated:

RALEIGH, NC (WMBF) - The NC Department of Transportation opened one lane of NC-12 north of Rodanthe to two-way traffic at 3 p.m. Tuesday. The road has been closed since Friday, Nov. 13 due to sand and ocean over wash from a nor’easter.

The department has put stone over the broken pavement in the southbound lane to accommodate traffic. A temporary portable traffic signal will be in place late Tuesday to direct traffic through this section. Law enforcement is currently on the scene to direct traffic. Motorists should expect slow downs through this area.

The NCDOT Ferry Division will make its last runs of the emergency ferry route from Stumpy Point at 3:30 p.m. and from Rodanthe at 5 p.m. Tuesday. All ferry routes will resume their normal schedules, and tolls and reservations will be reinstated Wednesday, Nov. 18.
