Considering there's a very tight turn just before the bridge, and you'd need to clear about 150', I doubt it.

That's the one.

I've done the detour a few times and it's actually a bit faster than taking 28 - except it's pretty boring.

Heck... I'll be too busy driving the roads of NC.... heck with the Dragon....

Except maybe on the way in and out!

Glad we didn't get Fontana Village for our HQ... that would have been real bad!

Fresh from Killboy.com:

Fontana Bridge is open again...

They repaired the pin that was failing and opened the bridge at the base of Fontana Dam today, so you can get to Fontana Village from Deals Gap by going right down Hwy 28 again.
