A stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina has reopened nearly a month after Hurricane Helene devastated the western part of the state, but most of the parkway remains closed.
The National Park Service said Wednesday that the parkway is open from Bamboo Gap at mile marker 285 to mile marker 305, near Blowing Rock.
The Parkway has opened to traffic from milepost 285.5, at Bamboo Gap, to milepost 305, near Beacon Heights, in the Blowing Rock, North Carolina area.
