CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Parts of Route 250 on Afton Mountain are still closed due to a rockslide last week.

The Virginia Department of Transportation still does not know when the road will reopen. Crews need to remove unstable soil and rocks from the hillside as well as stabilize the slope above the road. That work is expected to start sometime this week.
