Two U.S. Forest Service roads in Madison County have been closed for safety reasons,

Hurricane Gap Road and Mill Ridge Road, also known as Forest Service Roads 467 and 113, respectively, will be closed until trees damaged during recent winter weather can be surveyed and safely removed. The roads are expected to reopen no later than April 1. 

Emergency road closures can go into effect at any time on Forest Service land. For current road conditions, contact the district ranger office. Links to emergency closures, as well as seasonal road closures, are listed on the right sidebar at www.fs.usda.gov/nfsnc.
