U.S. 250 will be closed for an extended period between Route 6 east of the summit of Afton Mountain and Route 750 just west of the Rockfish Gap Country Store.
On Wednesday rocks, soil and debris continue to slide down the steep slope into the roadway. The slide began at midday Monday and required closing U.S. 250 to traffic.
