OCRACOKE — The North Carolina Department of Transportation has closed N.C. 12 on the north end of Ocracoke Island and the ferry between Hatteras and Ocracoke islands has been suspended.

Officials estimate the road will remain closed until at least Thursdsay morning, according to a press release from NCDOT. The road is closed due to ocean overwash from storms Humberto and Imelda, despite both of them remaining offshore in the Atlantic.

Transportation crews will work to clear the road once conditions are safe. People can monitor road conditions throughout the coast on drivenc.gov.
