Rock-wall collapse prompts Brookville road closure

road-closedBROOKVILLE, Ind. — A landslide in Brookville has closed a portion of Main Street for a few days.

A 60 foot portion of a stacked limestone retaining wall collapsed along US 52 and State Road 1 between Fourth and First Streets.

The Indiana Department of Transportation says the age of the wall along with freezing and thawing as causes of the wall collapsing.

INDOT is keeping the highway closed, even though the debris has been cleaned up.

Engineers investigated the slide and are concerned about the retaining wall on the East side of the roadway doing the same thing.
