Authorities closed Boulder Canyon Drive, or Colo. 119, after massive boulders slid onto the highway Tuesday night, according to a Twitter post from the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials closed Boulder Canyon Drive from its base in Boulder to the top of the canyon near Nederland.
According to the post, the rock slide occurred near mile marker 33, and officials said it will be “prolonged” closure because of the size and amount of debris that needs to be cleared. There was no report of injuries in the tweet.
