Blue Ridge Dam Maintenance

As part of its regular inspections at Blue Ridge Dam, TVA has identified a need to make repairs to the large open longitudinal joint 30 feet downstream of the spillway gates and the ogre weir. Work is expected to conclude September 29th, weather permitting.

Due to the increased risks of tripping and mechanical hazards, TVA will temporarily close public access to the parking lot adjacent to the spillway (see graphic). Signage will be posted.

During the maintenance work, the public will still have access to the nearby Blue Ridge Lake Dam - Day Use Recreation Area. We ask the public to exercise caution due to construction activities. Safety is a priority for TVA, and we appreciate the public’s patience as we work to ensure the health of this valuable community asset.
