🚨EMERGENCY ROAD CLOSURE🚨
PRESS RELEASE
EMERGENCY ROAD CLOSURE
Beginning May 24, 2021 thru at least Friday, June 4th, Route 60 (1600 block of Main Street) in front of BB & T bank will be closed through traffic. While this closure was only projected to close the road for a few days, the discovery of several sinkholes that have undermined the roadway have resulted in a longer projected closure.
The closure will impact all westbound and eastbound through traffic on Route 60 in front of BB&T bank between Hickory Street and the entrance to Mountain View Apartments.
Through traffic is advised to avoid this area during the closure period as there will be significant impacts to all roadway users. Local traffic is advised to use alternative routes until project work is completed. All truck traffic must detour by way of Verge Street. Detour signs are in place to alert motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists about the temporary road closure.
The Town of Clifton Forge understands the challenges and inconveniences that commuters, residents, businesses, bicyclists, and pedestrians will experience during the closure period and asks for patience and cooperation as we work to complete this project.
Town of Clifton Forge
Need to place detour signs for getting to Clifton Dale. I work at night at Kroger and I've had 3 people (out of towners) come ask me how to get there. I was at the store in Clifton Dale at night and a woman had to follow me the back way to town because she didn't know how to. I over heard a truck driver say he had to back all the way back down ramp and road to get on verge street. I don't know if any signs are in that road.
Too bad all the traffic is coming through the residential area 🙄. On a narrow road at that.
***UPDATE***
Interstate 64 East bound is open to 1 Lane of traffic at this time. 11:00 AM.
Be prepared for Heavy Traffic through the Town of Clifton Forge due to a traffic accident blocking Interstate 64 East bound. Please expect delays and allow extra time when traveling through town to get to and from work/appointments. Be safe.
