Site work and paving for a mixed-use development in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Completed plans call for site work for a playground / park / athletic field; sidewalk / parking lot; and for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot.

The project site is in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and is outside Gatlinburg, TN. The trailhead is seven miles southwest of Gatlinburg along Fighting Creek Gap Road. Access to the trailhead is via Fighting Creek Gap Road. From the trailhead to Laurel Falls, the transportation of construction equipment and building materials will take extra coordination and is limited to equipment that can navigate the existing approximately 5¿ wide asphalt trail. Site access issues will be identified in Division 1 specs. The project will have limited staging located near the trailhead and along Laurel Falls Trail. The trail will be closed for the duration of construction activities. The Park and Fighting Creek Gap Road will remain open during construction, thus contract activities and logistics must be structured and scheduled to minimize visitor and operations impact. The new improvements will be constructed in an area considered a natural resource and protective measures are required to ensure the surrounding natural areas remain undisturbed and all construction activities remain within project site boundaries identified in the Construction Documents. This project includes new and rehabilitated parking areas along the Fighting Creek Gap Road between the Elkmont Campground Entrance Road and Maloney Point. Work includes removing the existing surface, rehabilitating existing parking areas, and constructing new parking areas. New retaining walls will be installed to allow for the new parking areas..
