In North Carolina, this includes about 25 miles in the Asheville area, between mileposts 365 and 392. The road is being resurfaced with thin-lift asphalt, and visitors can expect full, two-lane night closures and single-lane day closures and delays through the project’s scheduled completion in September. The project does not include the section between mileposts 388.8 and 392 due to ongoing bridge construction on Interstate 26.

Night work can take place from 8 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, between milepost 382.6 just south of the Tunnel Road and U.S. 70 ramps and milepost 393.7, just north of the N.C. 191/Brevard Road ramp. Day work will occur between 30 minutes past sunrise and 30 minutes before sunset throughout the project area. 

More than 80 miles in Virginia will also be resurfaced this year, with work taking place from mid-May to November and no work scheduled during October. Work locations within scheduled project areas will change weekly and visitors in active work zones should expect single-lane closures and delays. Work will occur between mileposts 0 and 27, 37 and 65 and 175 and 200.
