Wheelwright Slide Work Underway

KENTUCKY...
An unstable hillside in Wheelwright that began to slide in February is getting some attention. Eleven families were initially forced to leave their homes when the ground began sinking and foundations cracked. A contractor began work Monday to save one remaining unsafe house. The crew is driving 62 steel beams to halt earth movement. It is believed the slide was caused by an abandoned coal mine. The contract for the initial work is more than $80,000.
