No Timeline for Reopening NC 12 to Hatteras Island

Dare County says there is no timeline for reopening NC 12 between the Marc Basnight Bridge and Rodanthe, and its state of emergency and visitor evacuation for Hatteras Island remain in effect. The emergency ferry between Stumpy Point and Rodanthe runs on a fixed NCDOT schedule from Friday for permit holders; visitors may use it to leave but not to return. Hyde County residents with documentation may use it to reach Ocracoke, where limited Hatteras–Ocracoke ferry service has resumed and NC 12 is open. The county's next bulletin is due by noon Friday.
