Our hearts are with everyone on Hatteras Island, and with all the crews working swiftly to restore access after recent storms damaged N.C. 12 at Pea Island, cutting off road travel to and from Avon and the rest of the island.
An emergency ferry is now operating between Stumpy Point and Rodanthe while NCDOT and Dare County teams work on repairs and temporary access solutions. We’re grateful to the workers putting in long hours to help reconnect the island and support its residents, businesses, and communities.

Hatteras Island is resilient. We’re thinking of our neighbors, guests, and everyone working to bring the island back together. 💙
