Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with funding from the Great American Outdoors Act Legacy Restoration Fund, will finish the approximate $15.7 million repair and rehabilitation of Lakeview Drive that started last year.
Work will begin April 8 and is expected to end in early July.
Project at a glance:
• Final paving of the 6.5-mile road.
• Paving and sidewalk construction in the Noland Creek trailhead parking area, including Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard (ABAAS) accessible parking.
• Deck repair on the Noland Creek Bridge.
• Rehabilitation of road shoulders.
Throughout the project, visitors should expect temporary single-lane closures. Noland Creek Bridge will be closed April 15 to April 18 while crews repair the bridge deck. Parking will be available at Noland Creek trailhead during the closure. Noland Creek cemetery will also be accessible.
