The 11-mile, one way Cades Cove Loop Road will have a delayed opening for a few hours on Thursday, June 24. The road will open at 9 a.m. to motor vehicles. This action is necessary to accommodate repair work to a damaged pullout caused by a recent vehicle fire on the back side of the road, approximately 1/2 mile before the exit gate. Hikers and bikers will be allowed access to the area during the short, temporary closure.
