Leslie County Rock Slide
KENTUCKY...
Kentucky transportation officials say it could take a few days for a contractor to haul away rocks that slid onto an eastern Kentucky highway.
Kentucky transportation officials say it could take a few days for a contractor to haul away rocks that slid onto an eastern Kentucky highway.
The slide Sunday dumped boulders onto Highway 2009 in Leslie County. The largest rock is about 15 feet tall and will have to be broken apart so it can be removed in pieces. Work began Monday night.
The detour adds about a half-hour to the drive near Hyden.
Utility officials had to run a temporary water line to about 30 homes because the force of the slide disrupted service to them.
