Unfortunately, this morning's high tide has caused a breach in the dune at the Pea Island Visitor Center, causing major ocean overwash in that area. NC12 is now CLOSED between the Basnight Bridge and Rodanthe. We expect similar conditions over the next several high tide cycles.

Good morning! The high tide has come and gone and NC12 remains open and passable with some minor blown sand on the roadway. Our crews will be out again this morning to fortify the dunes on Pea Island, so please slow down and give them room to work. Next high tide is at 6 p.m.
