Great Smoky Mountains National Park announces selection of park concessioner to operate LeConte Lodge 

A project by the Dare County Water Department is set to cause intermittent travel delays on N.C. Highway 12 at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, north of Buxton. The project, scheduled for September 3-4, involves covering a 700-foot section of waterline with fill material near Haulover Sound Access.

The waterline project is a necessary infrastructure improvement aimed at ensuring the continued delivery of water services in the area. The project’s location is significant as it sits within the boundaries of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, a protected area managed by the National Park Service.

Travelers planning to use the N.C. Highway 12 route during these dates should anticipate occasional delays and are advised to plan their journeys accordingly. The National Park Service appreciates the understanding and cooperation of the public during this vital infrastructure project. For more details and updates, visitors can visit the park’s official website.
