BALSAM, N.C. (WSPA) – The North Carolina Department of Transportation said that part of U.S. 74 was rerouted Sunday morning following a landslide near the Haywood/Jackson County line.

The landslide covered the westbound lanes of U.S. 23/74 near mile marker 91, according to the NCDOT.

Crews were working Sunday to remove the trees and debris from the roadway.

Traffic was shifted into a single lane on the eastbound side, NC DOT said. That detour was in place all day Sunday.

One westbound lane to Sylva will be open Monday, according to officials. Both lanes heading west to Waynesville will be open.

Drivers should use extreme caution when traveling through the area.
