GRAND COUNTY, Colo. — The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) said Berthoud Pass has reopened on Wednesday evening.
The pass had been closed since Sunday, when an avalanche covered U.S. 40.
Ten vehicles were reportedly caught in the avalanche, CDOT said. No injuries were reported. CDOT said all vehicles and passengers caught in the slide were safely pulled out later that afternoon.
CDOT said travelers should be prepared for possible safety closures on highways across Colorado’s high country, including Interstate 70. Safety closures are implemented, sometimes with short notice, due to extreme adverse conditions or high avalanche danger.
