In the wake of Hurricane Dorian, the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) stated that it is putting its efforts into making repairs to reopen state roads as quickly as possible, per a recent press release.
About a dozen roads are still closed, including N.C. Highway 12 in Ocracoke, where more than 1,000 feet of major dunes and pavement will need to be replaced.
The damage from Dorian is estimated to be about $45 million and repairs are expected to be complete by the end of the year.
