Heavy rain triggers mud, rock slide that halts Durango trains; blocks roads after storm | The Republic

Rain also triggered two mud slides that temporarily blocked traffic on two highways in Colorado. The Colorado Department of Transportation says boulders fell across both lanes of U.S. 50 Tuesday night, temporarily closing the highway west of Canon City.

Another slide blocked U.S. 550 north of Red Mountain Pass in southwest Colorado, but traffic was moving.

The National Weather Service warned that monsoon rains could bring another round of moderate to heavy rainfall to southeast and southern Colorado on Wednesday. The weather service said storms could cause street flooding and more rock or mud slides.
