Hillsides crumble on new highway - al.com

Hillsides crumble on new highway - al.com: "While Ala. 158 has been open to traffic for more than a year west of Interstate 65 in north Prichard, the hillsides supporting the road continue to crumble, in some cases taking bits of asphalt from the edge of the shoulder.

For the past several weeks, crews could be seen along the road adding dump truck load after dump truck load of rocks the size of a man's head to some of the hills in an effort to stabilize them."
