From September 14 to 30, the park has multiple shoulder and single-lane closures planned on the Gatlinburg Spur that will affect traffic. If you plan to drive between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge on these dates, please drive with caution and leave extra travel time in case of delays.
• On Sept. 14-17 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., a single-lane closure is scheduled for the southbound section of the Spur between the Gatlinburg Welcome Center and the Gatlinburg City Limit for storm damage repairs.
• On Sept. 14-16 from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., shoulder closures are scheduled for the north and southbound acceleration ramps near Huskey Grove Bridge for utility surveys for future construction. Personnel will be working behind the guardrails and medians of both the north and southbound lanes.
• On Sept. 21-30 from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., single-lane closures are scheduled for the north and southbound lanes near Huskey Grove Bridge for utility work. The park plans to start single-lane closures on the southbound lanes and then shift to the northbound lanes. The single-lane closure will affect the tunnel in the northbound lane. Work is scheduled to conclude for the day at noon on Sept. 25 and will not occur over the weekend.
