A series of storms from October 2012 through March 2013 caused severe beach erosion and repeated closure of NC 12 due to ocean over wash. On March 19, 2013 North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency for NC 12. As a one-time emergency response the North Carolina Department of Transportation has executed an agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for beach nourishment to fortify the most threatened section of highway for three years. The Department of Transportation is considering two possible bridges as options for a long-term solution. --SoobyH (talk) 02:44, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
