Update, November 20, 2025
Work has resumed on the stormwater infrastructure improvement project spanning from James Street to just south of Juncos Street in south Nags Head. Remaining activities will focus primarily around the Juncos Street beach access and include:
- Replacement of the pedestrian dune walkover
- Installation of a concrete pumping station
- Installation of a dune infiltration gallery
- Replacement of the beach access parking area
Please note: pedestrian access will be restricted once the dune walkover is removed and will remain limited until the new walkover is installed. Vehicular access will be maintained as much as possible throughout construction to allow travel through to the beach.

Thank you for your patience with this important project.
Work is underway on South Old Oregon Inlet Road as part of ongoing infrastructure improvements in Nags Head. Two key projects are currently in progress:
- Force Main Pipe Installation – 8600 Block of South Old Oregon Inlet Road
Crews are installing a 6-inch force main pipe, a pressurized pipe that helps carry stormwater to a drainage area when gravity can't do the job on its own, using horizontal directional drilling. This work stretches from the 8700 block near the infiltration basin to Harvest Street. - Stormwater System Upgrades – Harvest Street Intersection with South Old Oregon Inlet Road
Stormwater infrastructure improvements are being made at the intersection of Harvest Street and South Old Oregon Inlet Road, covering the area from 8529 to 8601 South Old Oregon Inlet Road.
Traffic and Pedestrian Notice
A temporary pipe ramp has been installed across South Old Oregon Inlet Road near Harvest Street. Drivers should slow down and proceed with caution due to the ramp. Portions of the multi-use path in the area are also temporarily closed to pedestrians.
Construction will continue south toward Tides Drive before shifting north again. Thank you for your patience as we improve local infrastructure.
