Just over two weeks after reopening U.S. 441, officials in Tennessee are once again reminding truckers that commercial vehicles are prohibited from traveling on the narrow highway.
“Newfound Gap Road is a two-lane road with steep continuous grades and tight curves,” the National Park Service said in a statement. “There are no truck lanes, runaway truck ramps or places for a large commercial vehicle to slow down and pull over.”
Reopened on Oct. 2, U.S. 441 – also known as Newfound Gap Road – runs through Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The highway serves as a connection between North Carolina and Tennessee.
