The Gorge is not a big deal. The construction is done and aside from minor guard rail and landscaping things the road is open. Just fall in behind the trucks and be patient. Passing can be done if the trucks get too slow.
There is a long pretty steep downhill grade east of Asheville about 6 miles long. Gear down and don't ride the brakes. There are flashing signs that will tell you if you are going too fast. No real sharp curves in that stretch but just control your speed going down.
It's roughly 4 hours.
