REMINDER ON SAFETY PROTOCOL FOR STATE HIGHWAY 61

 

MONTGOMERY, W. Va. — As response teams continue work on operations at the site of the derailment, the Unified Command reminds drivers that one lane of W.Va. State Highway 61 is still closed. Individuals should not use this lane as it is part of the active construction site. Ensuring the safety of both residents and response teams is the first priority.

One lane of W. Va. Highway 61 remains open for residents and people who need access for employment reasons. Drivers are asked to stay alert and not stop in the area. Police are on site to ensure that safety and security procedures are followed. Please expect delays at this time. A public announcement will be made once both lanes are open.
