I hope the reports that have the road open by the time you guys get up there are the accurate ones! What a mess...

Both ends are being manned 24/7. They new it was a popular road and the locals would want to have a closed course

Edit: Apparently both ends are being manned by THP now after some asshat harley riders bumped chests with the TDOT worker saying 'they would kill him and ride around, no difference to them'.

why am i not surprised

remember, these are the same assholes that will troll around at parkinglot speeds until you get somewhere you could pass them, at which point they speed up to prevent it

if i didn't think it would end in a felony offence, i'd really start bringing a paintball gun to get their attention
