PRATT, W.Va.–A potion of road on WV 61 and MacCorkle Avenue SE in Pratt is closed due to a rockslide that occurred Wednesday afternoon.
According to officials, the rockslide happened at Beechwood Run Road and traffic is being re-routed at MacCorkle SE and Center Street.
A release from the state Department of Transportation says rain was likely a factor to the rockslide.
The rockslide closed both eastbound and westbound lanes. One lane was open for a time, but has been closed back down.
State DOH workers are removing rocks hanging on the side of the mountain near the road to minimize the risk of future rockslides.
