If your driving a car you can still go to Del Rio, Tn from Newport,tn at Del Rio Post office turn right on TN107w go 100 yards across bridge turn left onto Fugate rd go 4 1/2 miles up Fugate rd and get back on US25 to Hot Springs, NC and of course you can go back also the same way but i do not suggest large trucks cause the road does narrow and you should not exceed 30MPH
