Cape Hatteras highway re-opens
April 18th, 2011As the resurfacing of N.C. 12 across Bodie Island progresses, the highway has reopened and final work is expected to be completed by Memorial Day, the National Park Service says.
The main artery through Cape Hatteras National Seashore has been closed to two-way traffic from the Whalebone Junction Visitor Center south to SR 1243 (Old Oregon Inlet Road) since February 14.
The Park Service says the project is 85 percent complete.
Short one-lane sections of the highway will be closed for construction Mondays through Thursdays as the final layer of pavement is laid, which will continue to cause traffic delays. There will be no road construction Friday through Sunday.
