It started with a few rocks dribbling onto the pavement from above and ended with tons of soil, rock and debris shutting the road down.
Rockfish Gap Turnpike, also known as U.S. 250, was shut down Monday as chunks of greenstone bedrock broke free and slid down the steep mountain side sandwiched between Interstate 64 and the turnpike.
Crews on the scene have been working all week to remove the original slide material and pulling down more rock, soil and vegetation to try to prevent a second slide.
The slide occurred near Route 750, known as Old Turnpike Road, just west of the Rockfish Gap Country Store. Thatâs about 600 feet downhill from the intersection of Route 6 and U.S. 250.
