A heads up for anyone planning to be on Hatteras Island on Sunday, March 12:

NCDOT will be replacing culverts underneath a small section of roadway in Frisco that day, so Highway 12 will be closed in that area from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

There is an 8.3 mile detour route for 4×4 vehicles ONLY.

The southbound detour will begin at Ramp 44 off of Lighthouse Road at the Cape Hatteras Light Station in Buxton. The northbound detour will begin at Ramp 49 off Billy Mitchell Road in Frisco. The detour will be clearly marked from N.C. 12 and along the detour route in both directions. Motorists using the detour should follow the posted speed and directional signage.

Use of the detour route is at the driver’s own risk, and NCDOT is not responsible for towing stranded or stuck vehicles.

Dare County will host an informational meeting for the Buxton Beach Nourishment Project at the Fessenden Center in Buxton on Tuesday, March 7 at 6 p.m.

All are invited and encouraged to attend. This session will provide an opportunity for property management companies, business owners and employees, homeowners and citizens to learn details about every aspect of the nourishment project, the construction process, what’s involved and what to expect.

Representatives from the contracting company, Coastal Science and Engineering and the dredging company, Weeks Marine, will present an overview of the project followed by a question and answer session. Staff members from Dare County and the National Park Service will be in attendance to answer questions and review the “More Beach to Love” website that will be the go-to source for updated information about the project, once construction begins.

Construction of the Buxton Beach Nourishment project is scheduled to begin this summer and includes approximately 2.9 miles of beach from the “Haul Over” north of Buxton to the oceanfront groin near the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.
