Here is the email I just got from the folks that run the tail of the Dragon store and website. I sent them an email asking about the road and bridge closure just to confirm everything. Tim:We have officially confirmed with NCDOT - bridge repair over Cheoah Lake, a mile west of Fontana (near campground, below the dam). Bridge closed to traffic at night fr 8pm until8am. Possible single lane traffic during daytime. Work starts Monday May 20, contract calls for completion in 180 days, expected to be done sooner. Detour will be paved (and curvy) Meadow Branch (across from Tapoco Lodge) and Rhymers Ferry to the back of Fontana Village. It will be well marked. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT TRAFFIC ON THE DRAGON.Stop in and say hello at the Big Dragon.Ron and Nancy so I hope that eases sone minds and clarifies things
