CEDAR CITY, Utah — A rock slide in Iron County early Wednesday morning briefly closed an area of Cedar Canyon as crews work to clean up the mess and ensure safety for drivers.
In a video shared by the Iron County Sheriff's Volunteer Posse, a large boulder sitting in the road was demolished using explosives as part of the clean up.
The slide happened on State Route 14 at milepost eight and both directions of the canyon were closed until the road reopened at 4:30 p.m.
