Blue Ridge Parkway Closing

[JayBros]

Heads up to springtime BRP tourists! The Linn Cove Viaduct that wraps around Grandfather Mountain on the BRP will close for three months of road resurfacing and bridge repairs from March 1 to Memorial Day. The viaduct is 18 miles southwest of Blowing Rock. The two parkway entrances/exits that straddle the viaduct are Holloway Mountain Rd. at the north end and U.S. 221, Blowing Rock Hwy, Milepost 305, at the south end. U.S. 221 will be a scenic but busy detour during the closing.

I saw that on their website yesterday. That really sucks since that is a route that we often take on our day trips down the BRP from the Boone area down to Little Switzerland. We actually were looking at doing this on the first warm spring days in April. Looks like we will have to just take the detour.
