Laurel Creek Road, the access road to Cades Cove, will close to all forms of traffic. Winter construction will take place on the Bote Mountain Tunnel to treat temperature sensitive repairs as well as cracks within. With these repairs, winter hazards from leaks will be less likely during the cold months. Plans have a completion date by February 29th for visitors to travel through. Additionally, crews will have single lane closures during March through June for re-paving and repairs.
