The concurrent routes head north through a pair of small communities before intersecting US 64 in Franklin. US 23/US 441 turn east, briefly overlapping US 64 southeast of Franklin before separating from the route and continuing to the northeast through the Cowee Mountains. After passing Dillsboro, US 23/US 441 intersect US 74 (Great Smoky Mountains Expressway); US 23 splits east towards Waynesville, while US 441 joins US 74 westbound towards Bryson City. After traversing along the northern banks of the Tuckasegee River, US 441 splits from US 74 and continues north into the Qualla Boundary. In Cherokee, US 441 shares a short half mile concurrency with US 19, then continues north along the west bank of the Oconaluftee. After entering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, US 441 connects to the southern terminus of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Known officially in the park as Newfound Gap Road, US 441 traverses northwesterly through park until it reaches Newfound Gap, at the Tennessee state line. US 441 within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is maintained by the National Park Service and no commercial traffic is allowed. During the winter season, the road in the high elevation may be temporary closed due to inclement weather; signs after the park entrance and/or at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center will notify travelers/visitors on any closings or condition changes. US 441 also make up part of Corridor A and Corridor K in the Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS). Corridor A connects I-285, in Sandy Springs, Georgia, to I-40, near Clyde, North Carolina, it overlaps of US 441. Corridor K connects I-75, in Cleveland, Tennessee, with US 23, in Dillsboro, North Carolina, it overlaps of US 441. ADHS provides additional funds, as authorized by the U.S. Congress, which have enabled US 441 to benefit from the successive improvements along its routing in both corridors. The white-on-blue banner "Appalachian Highway" is used to mark the ADHS corridor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「U.S. Route 441 in North Carolina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
