PERRY COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT ) – Kentucky 80, near 476 at the Perry-Knott County Line is blocked due to a rockslide.

Dispatchers tell us there are no reports of injuries, but a few drivers are dealing with flat tires this morning after a rock slide left part of Kentucky 80 blocked off.

We’re told the West bound Lanes are open but that the East Bound lanes are closed heading into Knott County.

Crews spent at least an hour trying to clear up the debris.

The Eastbound lanes were opened shortly after 7am this morning.
