U.S. 60 back open

U.S. Highway 60 is back open to traffic after being closed almost all day. A section of road caved in where a cross drain failed between Marion and Salem in the Midway community. 

Keith Todd, public information officer for the Department of Highway, said the temporary pavement has been put down at the location. Drivers can expect a more permanent fix in a few weeks. 

Todd said motorists should exercise caution on all roads and bridges were high water may have created hazardous conditions.
