QUINCY — Vantage Road SW is closed indefinitely west of Silica Road SW to both motorists and pedestrians, according to Grant County Public Works.
“Due to the instability of the rock face, Vantage Road SW is closed,” Grant County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Kyle Foreman said. “This is for the safety of the public and we suggest the public continues to follow news sources for when the engineers determine that it is safe to reopen the roadway.”
According to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, the road was closed at around 9 p.m. Friday night due to a rockslide. Two hours later, one lane temporarily reopened to allow campers to leave the Frenchman Coulee campsite but was closed again by 11:40 a.m. Saturday.
“Recreators were notified by deputies, public works and Grant County PUD the recreation site would be closed due to the road closure,” Foreman said. “Everyone left in an organized and quiet fashion.”
Foreman said no injuries resulted from the rockslide.
