A road near the Buffalo National River will see temporary closures for repairs.
The release below is from the BNR Office in Harrison:
Newton County, in coordination with Buffalo National River, will be closing a section of Newton County Road 5, also known as Cave Mountain Road, starting Wednesday, January 22, 2025, for road improvements. The closure will be in place from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm, Mondays through Thursdays. The road will be fully open to all traffic on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
The 2-mile closure will begin at the intersection of Highway 21 and Newton County Road 5, in Boxley Valley.

The trailhead to Whitaker Point/Hawksbill Crag can also be accessed by gravel roads from Highway 16, west of Boxley Valley. This project will have multiple phases and is expected to last several months.
