Gatlinburg Spur to have temporary single-lane closures. Here's when to expect delays

The section of U.S. Highway 441 known as the Spur will have single-lane closures beginning April 24, while crews complete roadside maintenance.

The single-lane closures along the Spur through Great Smoky Mountains National Park will be in effect April 24-25, and then April 29-May 2, according to the National Park Service.

The work is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Motorists driving between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge might experience temporary delays.

Crews are mowing road shoulders, picking up litter, cleaning ditches, removing downed trees, and replacing missing or damaged road signs, according to the park service release. Lane closures ensure worker safety.
