The helicopter is on scene—ready to drop off drilling equipment and a generator for planned drilling/blasting operations. If all goes well, crews anticipate bringing the boulder down early afternoon. When the boulder is down, the hillside scaled and stabilized, and any resulting highway damage is assessed, we can begin to send information regarding estimated highway re-open times. We will send notice as soon as the boulder is down.

UPDATE: I-70 Glenwood Rock Slide
Blasting of the large rocks that hit the highways was completed yesterday. This morning, rock crews are working on the canyon side trying to dislodge other potential problem areas. Following the work on the wall, crews will then go back to clearing/repairing the road, guardrail and other damaged parts of the roadway.
Still no Estimated Reopen
