The section of the Blue Ridge Parkway near the highest mountain east of the Mississippi which has been closed for nearly 1 1/2 years due to a slide is set to open on Friday, May 15. Located about 20 miles north of Asheville, NC, near milepost 367, the visitor center at Craggy Gardens will also re-open Friday afternoon.
Alternating one lane traffic will be controlled by flaggers or temporary traffic lights with a timed system used after dark. Repaving is occurring from milepost 359 (about 5 miles north of Craggy Gardens) to milepost 374 just north of Ox Creek Road. Visitors are cautioned to use extreme caution through this section of the Parkway as there will be loose gravel and rough pavement through the 16 mile stretch.
