A little ways up the Gap, pavement is already starting to fail. Reportedly, this sort of pavement failure has been a problem for a long time. According to Mr. Porter, this spot was particularly troublesome, requiring frequent maintenance. The US park service is planning to have the old pavement removed, if it doesn't slide into Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, first. I think the roadbed will be restored to the "wagon-train" days, at the dawn of the 19th century. (Image 4 of 33)
