Newfound Gap Road Closed Due To Rock Slide

An alert to anyone traveling through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park…US 441 better known as Newfound Gap Road that is the main artery for traffic through the park is closed due to a rock slide. Officials did not state where on the 31 mile stretch of road the rock slide was with their post on twitter but stated they would advise when the road was back open. US 441 runs from Gatlinburg to Cherokee NC through the national park…making it the only roadway connecting Tennessee and North Carolina going through the national park.
