Yes. But you can still drive old Hwy. 71. rarely used by commercial traffic. very scenic at places.

I remember sixty five years ago when 71 was a two lane road through the mountains. A boring drive for a kid as all you could see were two walls of trees,trees,trees. You could not see the forest for the trees.

Now 49 is a great drive.
