One Lane Open On Berthoud Pass Following Rockslide

WINTER PARK, Colo. (AP) -- One lane is open on U.S. 40 over Berthoud Pass as crews clean up a rockslide.

Monday morning's slide spread rocks, trees and water across the highway, about seven miles east of Winter Park.

Officials at the Colorado Department of Transportation say most of the debris has been cleared from the roadway but a large boulder the size of a pick-up truck is blocking the westbound lane. Crews plan to break it up and remove it in pieces.
