Traffic delays possible on US 23 near Ivel slide

IVEL, Ky. –  The mudslide that has changed the traffic pattern on US 23 in Floyd County is moving once again, which has prompted Highway District 12 officials to alert the public of possible traffic delays.  For the past few weeks, all traffic on US 23 through Ivel has been diverted into the southbound lanes due to a large mud and rock slide. Monday morning, officials with Highway District 12 noticed mud and debris falling again.  And, they want motorists to be aware that there may be moments when traffic is stopped.  The speed limit through the area has been reduced to 45 miles per hour, and is considered a work zone, which means fines for speeding are doubled.
