• NC Hwy 12 to Open on or Before October 11

    N.C. 12 Update 10/05/2011

    The N.C. Department of Transportation will reopen N.C. 12 no later than Tuesday, Oct. 11 after the road has been closed due to the damage caused by Hurricane Irene in August.

    “Our hope is to open before then, but right now we are confident work will be complete on or before the 11th”, said resident engineer Pablo Hernandez. “We will open to road earlier if we can.”

    At the Rodanthe breach area, crews completed paving the asphalt base for the road patches south of the mid Pea Island breach and began grading the sand for the roadway embankment leading to the southern end of the bridge.

    At the temporary bridge location on Pea Island, crews worked all night and into the early hours to set deck panels at the north end of the bridge after it was completely lowered onto the permanent bridge bearing supports. The southern half of the bridge is in the process of being lowered onto the bearing supports.

    Crews still need to install six of the 12 bridge bearing supports, anchor the bridge in place and finish installing deck panels; however, the following items are complete at the temporary bridge location:

    • Piling: all 82 piles driven.
    • Sheet Piling Bulkhead: all 726 linear feet installed.
    • Concrete Footings: all 12 footings poured.
    • Bridge Truss Spans: all 662 linear feet placed.

  • Outer Banks Fishing Report 10-2

    Here is the Frisco Rod and Gun Outer Banks Fishing Report for Hatteras Island:

     

    It was mostly sunny and a lot cooler today.  The winds were from the west at 10-15 mph and the temperatures were around 70 F.  Today the swell from tropical storm Ophelia came ashore, so it was a little rough.  We had scattered bluefish at Cape Point and the Frisco beach.  We also had a customer catch a 40″ red drum on the Frisco beach using a flounder rig.  No boats fished today either.  Although the fishing inshore has been excellent.  Lots of speckled trout and puppy drum.  Offshore the wahoo fishing  has been excellent and the yellowfin tuna fishing should really start picking up with the cooler weather.
