Traffic was once again moving in Hancock County early Tuesday after a landslide on state W.Va. Route 2 closed part of the road overnight.

As of 11:30 a.m., crews were still trying to clear the debris and only one lane was open. Crews were directing traffic in both directions.

A school bus-sized boulder crashed down around 6:30 p.m. Monday but did not cause any injuries or crashes. The job of removing the boulder will probably require heavy-duty construction equipment.

The incident put officials on high alert for more landslides and other natural disasters caused by freezing, thawing and then rain.

"It's a mess and it's going to take a lot of work to get it out of there," said Jamie Haspel, West Virginia Division of Highways supervisor.

The boulder tumbled about 20 feet down from a cliff and over concrete barriers.

Debris blocked the stretch of road Monday night and the slide prompted officials in Brooke and Hancock counties to be on high alert.

Haspel said, "With the temperature varying, you get ice and thawing and it separates the shell and falls down -- usually not in this big proximity."

Brooke County Emergency Management Agency Director Bob Fowler said he is no longer concerned about the potential for flooding in the Buffalo Creek area.

Overnight, one of the jams broke free and allowed water to move smoothly.
