- Mudslides prompt closure of US Highway 550 in Ouray County
Mudslides caused the closure of US Highway 550 between Silverton and Ouray in Ouray County on Friday, with no estimated reopening time. The Ouray County sheriff's office warned of delays and advised against driving through flooded roads. A flash flood warning was in effect through 7 p.m., and mudslides have led to multiple road closures in western Colorado recently, including a multi-day closure of Interstate 70.
