CBS21 is partnering with Field of Screams so you can "Chime In" with your decorations, costumes, and ALL things Halloween.According to the National Park Service , the closure is going to last indefinitely while crews work to clear storm damage and make sure the park is safely checked over.
The full length of the parkway is closed to all uses due to damage from Hurricane Helene," NPS said on Thursday. "Closures will remain in place until staff can safely assess the park and clear any storm damage. The park will issue updates as they are available.The full closure alert followed a previous announcement that the parkway was closed south of the Virginia state border.
At the time, NPS said there was no date for reopening any parts of the road, and with the updated announcement that the full length of the road is closed, it may be some time before the parkway can be reopened.
