In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, NCDOT is working quickly to restore the roadways of western North Carolina, including the Devil's Stairs route. At this time, NC 88 is open to traffic, but there is work ongoing, so be prepared to stop in construction areas. There are also several places where tiles under the road have been replaced but have not been repaved yet. The Blue Ridge Parkway is closed through Ashe County at this time, but hopefully, it will reopen this summer. We recommend that you check the BRP website for closure updates.
