NC Road Conditions
MINOR TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS ALONG NORTH CAROLINA’S COASTAL REGION
As Hurricane Earl moves away from North Carolina, many coastal roadways remain affected by floodwaters and scattered debris, with the Outer Banks receiving the greatest impact.
Currently, NC-12 is closed in both directions at the Oregon Inlet Bridge and is not expected to reopen until further notice. Numerous secondary roads are also closed near Cape Hatteras and Ocracoke Island. Efforts are underway to assess damage to the roadways and restore travel in the impacted areas.
ALL FERRY SERVICE REMAINS SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Motorists should drive with caution when traveling in any areas affected by Hurricane Earl. If a flooded roadway is encountered, motorists should turn around and seek an alternate route.
The National Weather Service currently has the following warnings in effect for the coastal counties from Wilmington, NC to the VA state line. To see the current watches and warnings for NC's coast, click one of the following:

This temporary opening will begin at 5:00 pm on 9-2-10 and extend through the evening of 9-6-10. On 9-7-10, a single westbound lane will again be closed until the project is complete. All truck restrictions will remain in effect during the Labor Day Weekend.
Truck restrictions have been put in place for that stretch of I-40 Westbound.
The restrictions are: Loads greater than 12 feet wide will be restricted from travel on the single westbound lane as long as work continues in the area. Wide loads traveling on I-40 West will continue to use the detour in place since the road was closed: Take Exit 53 B (I-240 West) in Asheville and follow I-240 West to Exit 4 (I-26 West). Follow I-26 West to I-81 South in Tennessee, back to I-40.
Both directions of NC-12 are closed south of the Oregon Inlet Bridge due to flooding and storm surge from Hurricane Earl.
Motorists are advised to avoid the entire area if possible, as flooding of other roads is expected.
NC 12 will be closed until further notice.
Road closed due to a broken waterline near Evansdale Rd. (SR 1622). Motorists are advised to take alternate routes if possible.
