A roadblock is set up on Colorado 125 on Monday evening after a mudslide closed the highway.
A mudslide near mile marker 14 on Colorado 125 has closed the highway in Grand County.
The slide was reported Monday evening. At 7 p.m. Monday, an officer with the Grand County Sheriff’s Office was turning northbound drivers around about seven miles north of the intersection with US Highway 40.
The officer said the the Colorado Department of Transportation was working to clear the route, though he did not have a timetable for when the highway might reopen.
Later in the evening, the sheriff’s office posted on Facebook that the slide occurred in the East Troublesome Fire’s burn scar and that CDOT had closed Colorado 125 on the south side 5.5 miles north of US 40.
Wildfire concerns in the Roaring Fork Valley have emergency response officials asking for the public’s help in staying notified and prepared to evacuate.
