The closure of N.C. 12 between the Marc Basnight Bridge and Rodanthe is causing significant travel disruptions for residents and visitors in the area. The nor’easter has led to dangerous conditions, including dune erosion and ocean overwash, which pose risks to vehicles and travelers. The affected stretch of road is a critical route for accessing parts of the Outer Banks, and its closure may impact local businesses and emergency services. NCDOT has emphasized the importance of adhering to closure signs to avoid accidents or further damage.
