\"Rodanthe<\/a><\/p>\n

Gov. Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency<\/a> Tuesday for N.C. 12 in Dare County, a move aimed at speeding up the state\u2019s effort to shore up a fragile road frequently closed in recent weeks<\/a> because of ocean overwash.<\/p>\n

The state Department of Transportation is seeking permits for beach renourishment and dune construction at the S-Curves area near Rodanthe on Hatteras Island. DOT plans to use $20.8 million in federal emergency funds related to damage caused last fall by Hurricane Sandy.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the department has long-range plans to elevate more than four miles of N.C. 12 on bridges high above the surf.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people there have real concerns about the road they depend on to get to work, school or medical appointments,\u201d McCrory said. \u201cThey need a highway that is not forced to close every time a storm approaches.\u201d<\/p>\n
