Route 250 closure due to rockslide continues with no end in sight
Rt. 250 remains closed with no opening site By Elizabeth Holmes | May 6, 2021 at 7:19 PM EDT - Updated May 6 at 8:07 PM
AFTON, Va. (WVIR) - Rocks and debris cover a main artery from central Virginia to the Shenandoah Valley due to a rockslide on Route 250. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) said it does not have a clear idea when the road will reopen, due to soil and weather conditions.
Signs warn drivers about the closures, but those who live and work in the area, like Afton Mountain Vineyard Manager Michelle Kimmell, say it’s not enough.
