Route to Up The Creek, Pigeon Forge, TN
Will be travelling to Up The Creek RV Campground in Pigeon, TN in a couple weeks. I am coming from SC on I-26. The practical route is to get on I-40. Currently there is a bridge being replaced on I...

No real problems with the bridge issue. Time of day of course will determine traffic conditions and if the back up is bad. You seem to be on top of that though. I've taken 25 many times but one question, how tall is your trailer or motorhome? There is a low clearance coming into Newport TN, 13' 10". Most rigs can pass under it but some?? Make sure of yours. The road is decent for the most part but it is still in the mountains. There is only one area that is steep and twisty. others are just steep....nothing hair raising though. I've done it pulling my 37 foot TT.
Now, going through Newport it can be busy for a little burg and the street will accommodate you but right through downtown might be considered narrow. You can't go fast anyway and it's only a short way through town.
Next challenge is connect with 411 and head toward Sevierville/Pigeon Forge. There is no need to get back on 40. It's a new wide road....UNTIL ..you get to Bush's beans. Then it's a 2 lane road for some miles into Sevierville. Use Google maps. Stop at Bush's Beans Visitor Center. They were redoing the museum and I don't know if it's back open yet.
When you get into PF patience is indeed in order. Traffic has been heavy here already.
