Brewster Bridge Road in Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area is set to temporarily close for repair and re-pavement starting Monday, June 29th. The closure is part of an effort to restore the road, which sustained significant damage during major rain events in both 2022 and 2023.
The National Park Service announced the planned closure to give visitors advance notice and allow them to plan their trips accordingly. Big South Fork, located on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee, is a popular destination for hiking, horseback riding, and outdoor recreation, making road access an important consideration for park-goers.
While the exact duration of the closure has not been specified in the announcement, park officials are moving forward with the necessary repairs to restore safe and reliable access to the area. Visitors are encouraged to check the National Park Service website for updates on the road’s status before planning their visit.
Travelers with upcoming plans to visit Big South Fork should factor in the closure and consider alternative routes or access points within the recreation area. Park staff may be available to provide guidance on navigating the area during the repair period.
