DURANGO, Colo. — Officials say several thousand tons of mud and debris have come down the Missionary Ridge mountainside near Durango in the past couple of days.
The Durango Herald reports up to 10 feet (3.05 meters) of mud, silt and rock have buried East Animas as a result.
The road has been closed since Friday.
La Plata County Office of Emergency Management Director Butch Knowlton says three cars have tried to drive around the barricade on East Animas Road but immediately become stuck.
Five to 10 homes sit below the rockfall area, but none were in immediate danger as of Tuesday.
