Hatteras Island is now fully accessible, just in time for holiday vacationers! Paving of the final section of NC Hwy 12 that was damaged by Hurricane Sandy has been completed. The road reopened to all traffic around 7:00 pm last night (Wednesday, December 19).
As full access to Hatteras Island has been restored, the 4-wheel drive access and emergency ferry route from Stumpy Point to Rodanthe have been closed. For more information on NC 12 visit: https://apps.ncdot.gov/newsreleases/details.aspx?r=7523
