ROUTT COUNTY, Colo. — Both directions of US Highway 40 are back open after a rockslide in Routt County Wednesday. 

The rockslide happened west of Steamboat Springs around 7 a.m., according to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). Highway 40 between County Roads 68 and 50 was closed as crews worked to clear the debris.

The highway reopened around 5:20 p.m., CDOT said. 

The rockslide postponed a closure and cleanup of Tuesday's crash on Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon. CDOT will update the public when the closure is rescheduled.
