So it is possible to drive from Little Switzerland to Asheville again on the parkway? That would be great if it is! I have missed that section.
As far as this weekend goes, I am pretty busy already. I wish I had time for a drive up that way.
As of May 4, 2009 it was still closed. I have heard since then that one lane is open. Not sure which lane is open/closed. Here is some info I found on a bicycle forum... " The latest word from the Citizen-Times:
One lane is opening on May 15 and both lanes mid to late June. They will have a timed traffic light up there for off hours. They will be working on paving all summer."
Sooner or later they will update the official site with more current info.
