National Park to bid five Shenandoah Smoky Parkway links
The National Park Service plans to open bids November 2 for five Virginia sections totaling 46.6 miles of the Shenandoah Great Smoky Mountain Parkway at an estimated $1.621 million, contingent on satisfactory deeds. Additional Roanoke bids for North Carolina links and other sections follow in October and November with costs ranging from about $429,000 to $500,000. Delays stem from Virginia rights of way disputes over liquor and gasoline tax terms, now reportedly settled in deed forms awaiting state approval.
