Bodie Island Lighthouse Boardwalk Closes for About Four Months

Cape Hatteras National Seashore closed the boardwalk and observation platform at the Bodie Island Light Station on November 2 for a rehabilitation expected to take about 120 days, finishing this winter if weather allows, the park said. The light station itself stays open. Crews will replace deteriorated boardwalk planks, cables and seating, repair the railings and treat the pilings against weather and sun, so expect construction equipment and contractors in the area.
