Original: NC 12 detour opens after storm damage leaves hundreds waiting for Outer Banks ferry
A detour on North Carolina Highway 12 has opened after storm damage forced its closure, leaving hundreds of travelers waiting for ferries to and from the Outer Banks. The route, a key link along the barrier islands, was cut off by the storm, forcing motorists onto ferry services that quickly backed up. The new detour is expected to ease the backlog and restore access to affected communities.
Why now: Storm damage to a major coastal route disrupted travel for hundreds of people, making the reopening of a detour immediate news.
