NCDOT screwing w3ith us...
Even though this email says August, this road work starts this Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _
This letter is to make you aware of some work being done near the resort by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
We have just been informed of some overnight closures on Hwy 28 just north of Fontana.
Beginning, Friday, August 13th, 2013, through Saturday, August 21st, North Carolina Highway 28 North will be closing overnight from the bridge just beyond the Northernmost entrance to Fontana Village continuing to where Highway 28 intersects US Hwy 129 at the location known as “Deals Gap.”
These closures will begin at 8:00 PM each evening and the road will reopen in the morning at 8:00 AM each day.
Access to the village will remain open for the duration of this road work. While, if you are traveling from points East or South, this work will likely not impact you, we still encourage you to confirm your route. However, if you are coming to us from the North or the West, we recommend you take the following measures to ensure your safe arrival to the resort.
• If possible, plan to arrive at the resort prior to 8:00 PM EDT.
• If you are unable to arrive before 8:00 PM, there is a well marked detour route that will bring you in the resort’s “back door.” This route will take you past 28 on 129 South to roughly Tapoco where you will be directed across the mountain through Farley Branch, Rhymers Ferry, Fontana Heights, and into Fontana. This will add about 20 minutes to your trip.
• If you arrive after dark, particularly if this is your first time visiting our area, our recommendation would be that you take 129 South through Robbinsville and then pick up 143 to 28 back to the resort. This will add about 40 minutes to your trip. This is just an easier drive than the detour route.
The safety of our guests is one of our greatest considerations. If you have any questions or need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to assist any time, 24 hours a day at 828.498.2211.

My understanding is that the "back way" is a road that we really don't want to use.
So if you are coming in Friday night, might want to continue down 129 to Robbinsville and come up 143 to 28.

Well this shits all over night runs. Between this and "saturation" of the dragon, this looks to be quite the weekend
Is the short detour unpaved?
