A narrow two-lane road disappears into a tunnel cut straight through the rock, a reminder that the Blue Ridge Parkway was engineered to follow the mountain ridges rather than cross them. Work on the parkway began in 1935 as a New Deal public works project, and crews blasted and carved through granite and gneiss to keep its grades gentle and its curves sweeping. The road was not finished until 1987, so the tunnels and scenic overlooks it contains reflect decades of labor and changing engineering methods.
