DENVER—Highway officials have reopened Colorado 14 northwest of Fort Collins after clearing a mudslide that partially covered the road.
The highway was closed west of Ted’s Place to Stove Prairie at about 8:45 p.m. Friday as thunderstorms and hail pummeled northern Colorado. It was reopened at about 12:45 a.m. Saturday.
Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman Mark Aultman says the mudslide occurred in an area that was affected by wildfires last year.
Kari Bowen, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Boulder, tells The Denver Post ( ) that rain fell at the rate of 2.29 inches an hour in the Fort Collins area Friday night.
The mudslide was the only one reported in Colorado on Friday.
