I come through the gorge earlier. There's still one lane closed near the TN-NC line. Westbound was backed up 15 miles at least. It took me an extra hour 15 to get through it.
I-26E was also backed up 8 miles for construction between mm 59 and 67
Stay far away!

I went through the gorge about 3 weeks ago on a Sunday... no signs of an active construction zone then. Both westbound lanes were open. Must be something they just started...
-
I rarely run it anymore. Heading to or from the Greensboro/High Point area 81/77 is usually faster anyway.

I run it four times a week. Come thru WB about 6:30-7:00 pm and back thru EB about an hour later. It can get interesting. I get a chuckle out of the guys who are whiteknuckled going 30-35...and there are always at least one doing it with traffic backed up behind 'em.

It was the same one lane at the rock slide. Just moved down the road a little.
Probably a mad rush of weekend vacationers headed to Gatlinburg, TN. They go there for watching the leaves change color or something. Exciting weekend! Woohooo, look that one turned red! -
