Section 8 – Temporary Bypass for Bridge Repair
Bridge repairs are taking place on Old Cataloochee Turnpike just north of Maggie Valley NC at the start of Section 8:
- At this time riders are encouraged to bypass this closure using Interstate 40. The bypass is 14 miles and will rejoin the tracks at the interstate exit.
- We are working to find out a more detailed timeline for this closure, and if extended through the summer, will publish new tracks with a more official bypass.

New Tracks Available for Download
A new version of the SEBDR is available labeled SEBDR-May2025-v1.0
This update includes a few refinements and some exciting new additions:
- Section 6: a bypass track is still in place for a bridge closure.
- Section 7: a new Extension track has been added east of Tellico Plains for a great ride to the Mt Wauchessi Lookout Tower. This road is moderately steep but not overly rocky or challenging and is 3.1mi round trip.
- Section 7: A revision has been made to the route near Andrews NC that bypasses some highway and includes some great new pavement and dirt.
- Section 8: The original intended route leaving Maggie Valley is now open! This road features great twisty pavement and gravel and includes a scenic overlook at Buzzards Roost.
- Section 9: as posted in the April release, River Road is now officially open leaving the town of Hot Springs NC
