Little River Road Re-Opens from Gatlinburg to Townsend

The National Park Service has cleared the Little River Road running from Sugarlands Visitor Center in Gatlinburg to Townsend. However, the Metcalf Bottoms picnic area and bathroom facilities remain closed due to no power and lack of water.

The Foothills Parkway West, Greenbrier Road, Cherokee Orchard Road, Clingman's Dome Road, Laurel Creek Road and Newfound Gap Road remain closed, however Park officials expect the roads to be cleared and opened by the end of the day.
