GARFIELD COUNTY, Colo.- Sediment from recent monsoons isn't just harming fish, it's also causing road closures.

The right lane of Highway 82 westbound at mile marker 7 was temporarily closed due to water, mud and debris that seeped into the roadway.

Garfield County officials say the mess didn't appear to cause any long-term damage. They were able to get it cleared and all lanes have since been reopened.
