I heard a rumor the paved road leading to the parking area is going to be closed from 10/20/14 to 12/1/14 for repairs. Makes for a long hike in. Anyone have any more info on this?

Yes. The USFS just announced it

The U.S. Forest Service Grandfather Ranger District will close the Table Rock Picnic Area and parking lot Oct. 20 through Dec. 1, 2014 for repairs. The Forest Service will also close the paved, upper section of Forest Service Road 99, which leads to the picnic area, for repairs. Foot and bicycle traffic will be permitted in the area while repairs are made.

It's not that bad of a hike. I make it regularly in the spring.

They have reopened the road from the road repairs, but did say there would be one more 24 hour closure for some additional work at some point. You can always call the grandfather ranger district office to check on the road status.

I may be wrong Brian, but it looked to me they finished the paving that the additional closure would be for.

Maybe. My info came from the update the forest service sent out and they haven't updated that. Just passing it along.
