Just an update. I got this from the Deals Gap site tonight.
Let's hope it is repaired soon.


"Bridge update: We have a bridge that is impassable right now, just north of Fontana Village on #28. The bridge is closed until further notice because of structural issues. We will keep you posted. If you are coming north on #28 from 19/74, follow the detour signs over #143, and into Robbinsville, then make a right onto #129 and carry on north until you get to the Dragon. Another way to go would be to stick to the Nantahala River on 19/74 and pick up #129 from there, to totally avoid the back up on #28. Any questions, email us, and we will help any way we can."

This is what I pulled from the DOT site.
Looks like the bridge is closed until 9/27.
