Reopened Route 7 section closed by new slope failure

BRILLIANT — State Route 7 is closed at Rush Run due to another slope failure, according to Ohio Department of Transportation officials.

Southbound lanes were restored last week after six years of construction to correct landslides and rock falls.

Traffic is being detoured and must exit at state Route 151. Motorists will follow Route 151 west to Smithfield to state Route 152 to Dillonvale, then east on state Route 150 back to Route 7 at Rayland.

The area will be assessed and reopened as quickly as possible, ODOT officials said.
