CCPA Planned Calendar Events
May 8, 2010, CCPA meeting to be held in Cades Cove at the pavilion at the Cades Cove Campground Store
I understand that there are questions being asked regarding the schedule
for the Cades Cove road rehabilitation next spring. For purposes of
responding to inquiries, you may convey that we expect the work to begin on
or about March 1, 2010 and conclude on or about May 15. During this time,
the loop road will be closed to the public, access beyond the gates will be
prohibited. The campground, store and horse concession will be in
operation.
We have been and will continue to work with our neighboring communities
regarding closure. We (Public Affairs) are developing information on this
project as well as the ARRA projects we will have underway around the park
this fall and next spring and summer in time for their publication in the
Fall and Winter editions of the park newspaper as well as distribution to
local and regional media, park website posting and so on. Any questions
for information from any media outlet should be directed to the Public
Affairs office for a follow up response.
Thank you
