Driving Through Time - The Digital Blue Ridge Parkway
About this Image
| Title | Across Icy Rock Curve |
| Date | October 31, 1936 |
| Description | Photograph shows road cut into rocky slope in section 2C of the Blue Ridge Parkway, with rocks alongside road in foreground. |
| Commentary | When constructing the road, special consideration had to be paid to the varying weather conditions often experienced in this area. This particular area presented a challenge because of the accumulation of ice often seen on slopes of mountainous roads as well as the sharp curvature in this section of the parkway. This picture is a different angle of the earlier pictures of the Icy Rock Curve. |
