NASHVILLE – Natchez Trace Parkway is closed from HWY 46 in Tennessee (near Milepost 429) to the Northern Terminus in Nashville due to winter weather conditions. The road will remain closed until snow and ice have cleared from the motor road.  

Travelers are advised to avoid using the Natchez Trace Parkway as winter weather moves through the region.  Icy conditions are expected along much of the 444-mile parkway. The park does not use plows or chemicals on the motor road. Although the motor road remains open south of HWY 46 in Tennessee, the Parkway may experience additional closures, from Natchez to Nashville, due to ice, sleet, snow, or downed trees .  

Current weather information is available through your local radio and television stations.
