Workers are getting ready to reopen Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon, three days after a rock slide tore gaping holes in an elevated section and littered the
highway with boulders. State officials say workers were patching holes, repairing drainage and clearing away snow throughout the 17 mile stretch Thursday morning.
They plan to open one lane in each direction until other repairs are done.

The reopening was delayed so workers could break apart another huge boulder threatening to tumble onto the highway. That work was
finished late Wednesday. A 17-mile stretch of the heavily traveled interstate was closed Monday after the slide. The shortest detour adds more than 200 miles to the trip.
