Great Smoky Mountains National Park plans to close the
Foothills Parkway East in Cocke County from I-40 to Cosby, overnight on Tuesday
Sept. 22 and Wednesday Sept. 23.
Closures will begin at 8 p.m. both nights with the road
re-opened by 7 a.m. the following day. The closure is being imposed to allow an
engineering consultant to drill a series of core samples through the pavement
to be used to develop plans to re-pave the road.
The road will be closed with Variable Message Signs
stating ROAD CLOSED AHEAD at each end of the parkway (Intersection with
Interstate 40 and Intersection with 321 in Cosby).
