7:25Now PlayingThe eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 70 have reopened in Glenwood Canyon after mudslides the day before in several locations, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).
CDOT said there were five slides in all Saturday, with the first one happening at 3:20 p.m. Some of them were 9 feet deep and covered hundreds of feet of roadway, according to CDOT.
It was the fourth closure in a week. Earlier last week, CDOT warned drivers about the potential for closures and said to prepare to use alternate routes if necessary.
The heavy rain can bring down mud onto the highway due to burn scars from the Grizzly Creek Fire, which burned near the highway last summer. That is exactly what happened last Sunday when an 80 foot wide and 5-foot deep mudslide covered the highway.
