Blue Ridge Parkway - South Ashe Task Force – Construction continues on the MST section between NC 16 and US 421 along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Meet near Milepost 272 on the parkway at 8:30 AM. The worksite is south of the junction of NC 16 and the Blue Ridge Parkway near Milepost 272. Look for orange “MST Work” sign and directions on vehicle windshield. Some tools will be provided but you can bring mattocks, hand loppers, hand bow saws and leaf rakes. Bring plenty of water, sturdy work boots, gloves, a jacket and raingear. Lunch, energy snacks and a light day pack with first aid kit may also be helpful. The worksite is near the parkway so access to your vehicle should be easy and nearby. For questions contact Jim Hallsey (336) 877-8831 or jhallsey2@cs.com.
Special note: Parkway closure pending between Phillips Gap and Jeffress Park (MP 270 to 271) If you travel the BRP south from NC 16 to the meeting site you will have to follow a detour on Phillips Gap Road to Idlewild Road to US 221 to US 421 and back to the parkway overpass at US 421. Then go north on the parkway to the meeting site.
