GATLINBURG, Tenn — Road crews will soon start on roadwork in the Great Smoky Mountains, impacting traffic along the Gatlinburg Spur.
The road runs between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and is part of the Foothills Parkway in the Great Smoky Mountains. It is around 4.2 miles long and sees around 49,000 vehicles a day, according to the National Park Service.

People driving between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge may experience temporary delays during the work. Lane closures will be in effect from 7 a.m. through 4 p.m. each day.
