Part of a North Carolina state park has been closed after severe weather caused a retaining wall to collapse.

Officials for Chimney Rock State Park said on their webpage Tuesday that the wall at the top of a parking lot in the Chimney Rock section fell during Monday’s heavy rainfall. The statement said some debris from the collapse was washed onto a road below.

The park said Chimney Rock will remain closed until further notice.

The park statement said crews are working to clear the roadway. The state Department of Transportation and state contractors are assessing the situation to determine what needs to be done to fix the damage.
