Parts of Route 152 in Wayne County, WV affected by road slip

Wayne County 911 dispatchers confirm that part of Route 152 was closed due to a road slip that occurred on Saturday, August 23.

The roadway between Ferguson Branch Road and Lick Log Branch Road was affected by the slip. 

Wayne County Board of Education had some concerns and feared that bus routes may be affected by the slip. However, Highway 152 between Dunlow and Genoa are passable for school bus traffic as of Sunday evening. Department of Highway Officials stabilized the roadway so school buses could pass. But repairs will take approximately 2-3 weeks and the road is down to one lane. 

Raymond Watts of Wayne Department of Highway said employees will be on location to monitor school bus traffic, according to the Wayne County Board of Education's website. 

School officials encourage parents, teachers and other faculty members to check the Wayne County School Board web site for more information.
