(WAVY) — The National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking public input on the North Carolina Department of Transportation’s proposal to realign a section of N.C. Highway 12.The USFWS received a right-of-way application from NCDOT to move about 3,000 feet of highway near Hatteras Island approximately 150 feet west of its current alignment. The proposed realignment will require demolition and reconstruction or relocation of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center, according to a release.A small parking area would remain near the existing visitor center to allow for access to the North Pond Wildlife Trail and Refuge impoundments.NCDOT’s proposal is set to reduce the highway’s vulnerability to coastal hazards, including ocean overwash that has flooded and damaged the roadway and caused multiday closures. Public comments will be accepted from Nov. 10 through Nov. 24.Project information and instructions for submitting comments are available here. Public comments may be submitted via email to alligatorriver@fws.gov or by mail to P.O. Box 1969, Manteo, NC 27954.</div></body>
