NAGS HEAD, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina transportation officials say the major link between the Outer Banks and the mainland will reopen Saturday morning.
The state Department of Transportation announced Friday afternoon that N.C. Highway 12 connecting Hatteras Island to the rest of North Carolina is to open at 7 a.m.
The road has been closed in both directions south of the Bonner Bridge because of water and sand blown from Hurricane Earl.
Workers are clearing the road using bulldozers and allowing water to drain.
