KILL DEVIL HILLS – The N.C. Department of Transportation has closed a recreational access area off Colington Road in Dare County due to unsafe conditions for pedestrians.
The area, on the north side of Colington Road across from the Colington Fire Department, has seen a deterioration of the bulkhead and the surrounding area. The area has traditionally been used for recreational crabbing and other activities.
A ‘no trespassing’ sign will be posted and access to the area has been restricted until further notice.
NCDOT is actively seeking to partner with other agencies or organizations to maintain and possibly utilize the area in the near future.
