Some scheduled road work in the GSMNP this spring

A pavement preservation project began this Tuesday, February 19 on Little River Road. A thin pavement overlay will be applied to the 16.5-mile roadway between Sugarlands Visitor Center to the Townsend Wye, including pull-offs, parking lots, and Elkmont Road. The project will begin with the Sugarlands Visitor Center and Bus parking areas.
 Visitors traveling on Little River Road should expect weekday, single-lane closures and traffic delays from February 19 through June 14 and from August 19 through September 20. Single-lane closures will be from 7:00 a.m. on Mondays through 12:00 p.m. on Fridays. No lane closures will be allowed during peak summer months, weekends, or holidays including the week before and after Easter from April 12 through April 26.    
 Hazardous Tree Removal through April Tree removal work along various roadways in the park will continue along Little River Road between Sugarlands Visitor Center and Metcalf Bottoms Picnic Area, Elkmont Road, Cherokee Orchard Road, Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, and the Gatlinburg Bypass. Motorists should expect single lane closures and thus delays through April.
