Elkins closes road near community center due to wind damage
ELKINS, (WBOY) — Due to wind damage, the City of Elkins has decided to close a portion of road next for everyone's safety.
According to a Facebook post from Elkins City Hall, the roof of the Phil Gainer Community Center was damaged by the wind, which is above the road along the south/Flood Control side of the building. Because of this, the city has decided to close the road as there is a risk of falling debris.
The post states that the closure will begin immediately and will last until a roofing company can assess the damage and stabilize the roof.
