I seen it backed up 12 miles from the Knoxville TN end once on Labor Day weekend. That's just to get off onto the exit.But you have to understand this is one of the top vacation spots in the US and it is already a nightmare. Anything short of a new Exit and access just won't help. A few new roads do no good if you can't get off the Interstate. I have seen traffic backed up for about a mile trying to get off at that exit as it is now and each side has (I believe) 3 lanes of off-ramps
This weekend there is a hot rod event in Gatlinburg/,Pigeon Forge and they were expecting 10's of thousands of extra tourists.
