Today the NC DOT announced immediate closure of the Bonner Bridge, the sole bridge linking Hatteras Island to the mainland. The Bonner Bridge carries NC 12 over Oregon Inlet at a point approximately 10 miles south of the NC 12- US 64 junction at South Nags Head, NC.

Ferry service from Stumpy Point on the mainland to Avon on Hatteras Island begins Wednesday, December 4. The bridge is expected to be closed for as much as 90 days.
