Bad324 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 So long as it's just a nightly closure it shouldn't really affect most of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 So long as it's just a nightly closure it shouldn't really affect most of us Correct. NCDOT says nighttime closures. At like 9p I think. So as long as you make it back to Fontana before that you should be fine. Shouldn't be a big deal for us at all. It was posted a few pages back.

2talltim Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) 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 Nancyso I hope that eases sone minds and clarifies things Edited May 21, 2013 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Fyi to the people still planning on camping. The campground is by the bridge so not sure about what traffic flow will be like getting in and out of the campground Edited May 21, 2013 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnone Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Great news about the bridge. I suppose it could cause minor trouble when transiting to/from Fontana. I loved blasting across that bridge last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Maybe i missed it, Ben did you get anything figured out about the fire pit? I tried to get ahold of the FZ1 guys with no luck. I posted back a while ago saying worst case scenario we just use our cabin's firepit. We will for sure Thursday night be burning wood at our cabin and having a meet and greet. This way everyone can meet each other and plan when/where they're meeting and riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
