More monitoring down that way last night Eric, with the rock/mud slide above the Paonia Res.
Most of the traffic was on CDOT 151.085 and I was monitoring it thru the Montrose Feed available on-line at

CO-133 remains closed thru the area this am.

Gunnison County, Colo. -- A large rockslide closed portions of State Highway 133 near mile marker 24.2 on Monday. No injures were reported from the slide.
It happened around 5 p.m. and affected both lanes of traffic.
The highway will remain closed until geologists can assess the situation.
The largest rocks in the slide measured 20 feet wide, 20 feet tall, and 15 feet thick.
Because of the size of the rocks, crews will likely have to blast them to smaller pieces so they can be removed.
Paonia is located south of the Grand Mesa, about 70 miles southeast of Grand Junction.
State Highway 133 connects the towns of Delta and Carbondale.
