(WSET) — The Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and Virginia remains closed along its entire length as crews continue to assess damage from Hurricane Helene.

To support recovery efforts, the National Park Service has deployed its Eastern Incident Management Team. It brings specialized skills and resources to assist the Parkway with emergency employee needs, emergency stabilization of impacted park resources, and damage assessment.

As of Saturday morning, 214 National Park Service employees from 57 national parks in 32 states and the District of Columbia are working with Blue Ridge Parkway personnel on recovery efforts.

National Park Service assessment teams are still working on their initial inspections of the parkway and collecting more data to analyze the full impact of Hurricane Helene.

“Based on what teams have seen so far, significant and in some cases catastrophic damage has occurred along the parkway, particularly from milepost 280 to milepost 469 in North Carolina,” the National Park Service said.

In the coming weeks, assessment teams will use data from their inspections to determine the full extent of the damage, including the timeline and cost estimates for repairs. An expected reopening date for a section of the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina has not yet been set.

In Virginia, damage assessment and roadway debris removal are nearing completion, which will allow for a phased reopening in Virginia in the coming days to weeks.
