This election season, we want to remind residents of the laws surrounding political signs on NC roadsides. NCDOT can remove any sign that breaks these statutes, causes a safety hazard, or interferes with maintenance.

N.C. 12 remains closed between Basnight Bridge and Rodanthe as crews remove damaged pavement and prep for a one‑lane detour by Fri. All other sections are open. The Rodanthe–Stumpy Point emergency ferry continues to run. Visitor access to Hatteras Island is still restricted.

Following the back-to-back strong coastal storms that have damaged @NCDOT_NC12, I’ve declared a state of emergency in Dare and Hyde counties, which will allow the state to coordinate the work to restore the highway. We need long-term solutions because NC 12 is essential. I’m asking the @USDOTFHWA to continue to work with North Carolina to support immediate repairs and accelerate longer-term solutions for this vital stretch of highway. @NCDOT and our federal partners are already working closely, and we must build on that partnership to provide more reliable access to the Outer Banks.

N.C. 12 is still closed from Basnight Bridge to Rodanthe after overwash has caused more damage and dune loss. NCDOT does not know when the road will reopen. Emergency ferries between Rodanthe-Stumpy Point and Hatteras-Ocracoke are running. Crews will rebuild dunes as tides allow.
