Crews have hauled 100 truckloads from the rock slide and tons of loose rock from the highway. They blasted boulders the size of garbage trucks and one the size of a fire engine, ColoradoDOT said.
Cleanup crews have already hauled 100 truckloads of debris from the site of the rock slide, the agency tweeted. They spent a long weekend of pulling down tons of loose rock from the highway and blasting boulders described as the size of garbage trucks and one the size of a fire engine.
After all that work over the weekend, CDOT decided to continue the shutdown of CO-7 from Lyons to Allenspark through Friday, June 23, according to an agency news release Tuesday. #CDOT #News: Emergency closure of #CO7 for rockslide cleanup extended to at least through Friday, June 23. Crews have already hauled 100 truckloads of material from the site.— Colorado Department of Transportation June 20, 2023 “We realize the inconvenience this has caused for the residents of the canyon,” Regional Transportation Director Heather Paddock said in the news release.
Paddock said CDOT wanted to let people who live in the area and others who have to drive along CO-7 as soon as possible about the extended closure, so they could make other plans.
