 the covid-19 vaccine and flu vaccine are different and it's safe to get both vaccines at the same time. So don't hesitate. Vaccinate. The Pike County Health Department reminds you that the strongest defense is vaccination against flu and covid. After heavy rain and freezing temperatures, Prestonsburg residents may need to take a new route home. Prestonsburg residents traveling on route 321 may have a little bit of trouble getting home as just before 10 p.m. Monday, a rock slide occurred blocking both lanes of traffic. Following the rock slide, Mountaintops spoke with Prestonsburg Mayor Les Stapleton about their plan to redirect residents and about how they plan to remove the slide. About 9.30 last night we got a call on this as it's fire department and police department down real quick response to keep both sides to keep people from coming back around it and it's just we're forcing it. No one was hurt that we know of so they're going the equipment you see the top of it and the top of a big tall excavator just barely across those rocks they're going to start moving in here and start busting out here pretty soon. Hopefully get it out as quickly as it can. As many residents rely on the stretcher road to reach their destinations some may be wondering how they'll receive help in a time of need. Stapleton adds the block shouldn't impact times all too much. You got two you got two options you go around the lake or you can go down 23 and around. It should make more than four or five minutes at the most difference but what people need to know especially if you're coming to the city of Prestonsburg or leaving the city of Prestonsburg you're talking about you need to go ahead and get started that way if you're going to ER you're going to a doctor's appointment or something you don't want to be late for it to hospital just go ahead and go around don't plan on coming this way because you just have to turn around and go back. Repair to the road and removal of the rock slide may take up to two weeks. Reporting from Prestonsburg Kentucky, for Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Korjol.
