Fort Oglethorpe, GA:  Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park is advising the public that road construction, including closures, on Chickamauga Battlefield’s McFarland Gap Road, will continue through April 15, 2019, dependent on weather.

Due to unforeseen site conditions when the existing asphalt layers were removed, the McFarland Gap Road closure will remain in effect until April, 15, 2019.  The original design created by the Federal Highways Administration had to be altered to meet the site conditions that were discovered. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

For more information about this road closure, please contact Donny Campbell, Acting Chief of Facilities Management, at [phone], x125.
