Madison Creek Road in Logan County
remained closed on Monday due to new threats of the slipping hillside.
On Friday, the West Virginia Division of Highways has issued an emergency
closure of Madison Creek Road.
The DOH had no estimate on Monday how long the road would be closed.
Crews are working to build a new portion of W.Va. Route 10, just above the
road, and are concerned for the safety of motorists due to the slipping of the
hillside and potential flooding.
In December a massive mudslide cut off Madison Creek Road from the surrounding
area. People had to use ATVs and boats to get in and out while DOH crews worked
to clean up the mess.
In January, a causeway crossing the Guyandotte
River was completed to
give people living in the area access to their homes during these types of
closures.
