I'll post a review for this shortly.

Bneu2013, I've posted the review below. The main issues that need a closer look are whether the sources completely verify the information and whether there's post-1968 coverage. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 07:00, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
Just a few notes on grammar, concision, and clarity:
The road provides scenic overlooks– A little too promotional
outside of the main boundaries of the park– The park hasn't been mentioned in the body yet, so it should be named here.
It immediately crosses over– Is "immediately" necessary here? If it means something specific, a more precise description would be preferable. If it doesn't then it can be cut.
before winding its way over– Informal
the parkway begins to descend– "descends" is more concise than "begins to descend"
Preliminary planning for began in the mid-1950s– Did a word get dropped here?
This agreement was subsequently finalized– "subsequently" can be removed without changing the meaning.
All sources appear to be reliable. A lot of older/primary sources, but that's not an issue for GA.
Maps are acceptable so long as they're only being used for basic facts without inference or interpretation. Is the description in "route description" based primarily on maps? There are a few lines that have interpretation that pushes the limit of what a map can state directly. As they're currently worded, I'd expect all of these to be supported by a textual source that states the facts explicitly:
This intersection is at-grade, but resembles a trumpet interchange
resembles a trumpet interchange, or is that your interpretation of what it looks like? Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 15:46, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
Two overlooks along this section provide views of Gatlinburg below and Mount LeConte in the distance beyond
(commonly known simply as "Parkway")
Spot checks:
Its main purpose is to allow tourists to bypass the congested business district of Gatlinburg in order to speed access to and from the national park?
The article covers the route description. History leading up to the opening of the road is covered, but it cuts off as soon as the road opens in 1968. Surely it's received some sort of coverage in the last 55 years.
No ideas are favored or given undue weight.
No recent disputes.
