OUTER BANKS, N.C. — NCDOT crews cleared sand from North Carolina Highway 12 Tuesday after an overwash on Pea Island.
NC-12 will remain open and crews will continue to monitor the highway in the event of another ocean overwash.
Crews will be back on Wednesday at dawn to clear out any additional overwash residue, which will result in NC-12 being closed.
Crews are cautioning people to drive slowly and never drive through standing water.
