Parkway in Downtown Gatlinburg Reopens after no Suspicious Package is Found

Posted on June 4, 2025

Another incident in downtown Gatlinburg shuts down part of the Parkway.

The Gatlinburg Police Department was one of several departments to respond to a reported suspicious package last night (Tuesday) in the 700 block of Parkway.

As a precaution, officials rerouted vehicular and pedestrian traffic along this portion of Parkway and Maples Lane but it reopened shortly after 10 p.m. after no suspicious package was found.

Other responding agencies include the Sevierville Police Department, Pigeon Forge Police Department and the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office.

Additional information has not been released. This comes just days after a crash in this same area injured seven.
