CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The heavy rain is causing a few issues for drivers in the Kanawha Valley.

A rock slide has forced crews to close Edens Fork Road just off Interstate 77 in Sissonville.

A crew with the Division of Highways is on the scene trying to clear the road.

Meanwhile, high water has been reported near Court Street in Charleston.

Crews closed the underpass at Court Street and Piedmont Road about 9 a.m. Wednesday due to the high water.

Drivers are urged to use caution.
