Part of Blue Ridge Parkway in NC closed - State | Reflector.com

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — The Blue Ridge Parkway has been closed south of Asheville, approaching Mount Pisgah, because officials fear the possibility that a nearby slope will crumble.

Engineers with the Federal Highway Administration determined Wednesday that the amount of rain that's already fallen, combined with the possibility and more rain and the tenuous condition of the slope create a highrisk of failure.
