Parts of NC 12 in the Outer Banks were closed Sunday as ocean overwash spilled on to the roads.
NCDOT said Highway 12 was closed between Basnight Bridge and Rodanthe. Crews there reopened the highway at 5 p.m., but warned that they might need to close it again at high tide.
NC 12 was closed on Ocracoke Island between Pony Pens and the ferry terminal but reopened at 4 p.m.
NCDOT continues to post updates about closings and opening on NC 12.
