In the years 1930-1940 the Fontana Dam was built in North Carolina and Fontana Lake was created. Hundreds of people were resettled, houses and streets were flooded. The government promised to build a new road north of the lake from Bryson City to Fontana, 30 km to the west. After 10 km of road was built in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, including a 400 m long road tunnel, construction was halted. Since then, this road and tunnel have been popularly referred to as "The Road to Nowhere" and "Nowhere Tunnel" respectively.
