N.C. 12 Closed on Ocracoke
The road is currently closed in both directions from the Pony Pen to the Hatteras Ferry terminal with reports of about two feet of water on the roadway.
N.C. Department of Transportation maintenance crews will be out Saturday morning to assess the road conditions. There is not an estimated schedule for reopening the road at this time.
There will be no Hatteras-Ocracoke ferry service until the road reopens. Regular updates on ferry routes can be found on Twitter.
No other road closures are reported at this time along the Outer Banks; however, there are areas of standing water throughout the region, which is likely to continue through the weekend. All roads are open and passable, but drivers should proceed with caution and avoid driving through standing water if possible. Updates will be posted on the NCDOT N.C. 12 Facebook page as they are received.
