- Landslide threatens Burke County road following retaining wall collapse
A retaining wall collapsed near Hidden Hill Venue on Burkemont Road in Burke County, causing a landslide that threatens the roadway. Officials warn that additional rainfall could cause further movement, potentially making the road limited or impassable and delaying emergency response times. Burke County Emergency Management, the Fire Marshal’s Office, and NCDOT are actively monitoring the situation and urging residents to exercise caution.
