HATTERAS ISLAND, N.C. (WAVY) - The North Carolina Department of Transportation expects to open N.C. 12 no later than October 11.
Hurricane Irene left four breaches in the roadway back in August.
“Our hope is to open before then, but right now we are confident work will be complete on or before the 11th”, said resident engineer Pablo Hernandez. “We will open to road earlier if we can.”
There will be no travel restrictions for any part of Hatteras Island when the road re-opens. Residents and visitors will be permitted to enter villages that were restricted, like Rodanthe, Waves and Salvo.
A website has also been established to keep residents and motorists informed.
Temporary Bridge Facts:
· Piling: all 82 piles driven.
· Sheet Piling Bulkhead: all 726 linear feet installed.
· Concrete Footings: all 12 footings poured.
· Bridge Truss Spans: all 662 linear feet placed.
