I have posted detailed and thorough information about the closed section of the Blue Ridge Parkway north of Asheville, NC including maps of the Park Service recommended detour you can print, detailed descriptions of the roads involved, suggestions to improve the recommended detour, and four alternative detours around the closed area. This closure is in effect until spring of 2009. The maps and information are located at:

Directions for printing the maps on your home printer are included.

Here is the web address if the link above is not active if the forum software cannot parse the address correctly:
