Trail maintainers on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail along the Blue Ridge Parkway are warning hikers about a possible danger in a tunnel that runs under I-40 on the trail in East Asheville.
“This is a public safety issue,” said Les Love, of Weaverville. He is the section crew leader of the MST along this section of the parkway for the Carolina Mountain Club.
He said the large tunnel, which is on a highly popular section of the MST between the Folk Art Center at Milepost 382 and the Parkway Visitor Center and Headquarters building at MP 384, has not only become unsightly with offensive graffiti and mounds of trash, but he believes it’s a safety hazard.
