Approval has been received to build a not-quite 2-mile long multi-use pathway at Cape Hatteras National Seashore that will lead to the Cape Hatteras Light as well as the beach from North Carolina 12, the main highway that runs down the Outer Banks.
The project calls for a 1.6-mile-long, 10-to-12-foot-wide paved multi-use pathway in two segments. The plan also includes other visitor amenities and improvements.
“Thanks to support from our park partner, Outer Banks Forever, visitors to Cape Hatteras National Seashore will one day be able to walk, bike and run on a paved pathway to popular areas like the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and nearby beaches,” said David Hallac, superintendent, National Parks of Eastern North Carolina. “I’m excited to get to the multi-use pathway’s construction phase this fall and winter.”
