Well I sure hope they do a better job and faster than the repairs between Hwy 18 and Hwy 21. It took forever and looks more like a patch job. Our government at work back under BHO.
Our Mustang club took a ride up there year before last. One of the guys shot this picture as we drove by.

I sure agree. Those repairs were slow and not very good. I love the parkway and ride parts of it a few times each year.

It's easy to bit@h and moan about how bad the roads are and then do the same then they work on them.
At the same time complain about our taxes (I do).
The old saying you get what you pay for comes to mind.
Not sure how long that stretch of road is ......
If it just needs resurfaced or a full tear down and rebuilt or not.
But either of those would cost a ton of money.
Money the state does not have (normally in that budget).
If the FED's are not paying then the states tax base has to....

Rode it from it's start North of Cherokee over to US 70 east of Asheville around Oteen in 2001. The tunnels are kind of narrow. Got into one that was long and on a curve so that when you were in the middle you couldn't see anything behind you or in front other than the walls. Kind of a weird feeling. Almost hit a turkey. Great riding. This was during the summer and I still needed that jacket. I was by myself and the camera was on the seat of my bike for this picture.
