A large rock slide has closed the southbound lanes of the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Spur. The rock slide is on the City of Pigeon Forge owned portion of the Spur. At this time, officials with the City, national park, and TDOT are working through a traffic plan to allow two way traffic on the northbound lanes of the Spur. It will take some time to put in place the detour signage necessary to direct safe traffic. Park officials are assisting with traffic and Pigeon Forge officials will be responsible for the slide clean up. It is unclear at this time, how long it will take to remove the debris.
We will update you when the traffic plan is in place. But right now, motorists are not able to access the Spur from the Pigeon Forge end.
