A section of Highway 30 near Kimsey Mountain Road was washed out due to heavy rainfall, forcing a closure in both directions, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office announced.
A photo shared by officials shows a large portion of the right-hand lane washed away in the 2300 block of Kimsey Mountain Highway, with a white pickup truck that appears to have slid off the road.
TDOT said the closure will be long-term. No injuries have been reported.
