Foothills Parkway to be closed Tuesday, Wednesday nights

Sunday, September 20th, 2009
The Newport Plain Talk is reporting that Great Smoky Mountains National Park officials plan to close the Foothills Parkway East in Cocke County from I-40 to Cosby, overnight on Tuesday Sept. 22 and Wednesday Sept. 23.

Closures will begin at 8 p.m. both nights with the road re-opened by 7 a.m. the following day.

The closure is being imposed to allow an engineering consultant to drill a series of core samples through the pavement to be used to develop plans to re-pave the road.
