Car Sized Boulder Falls Onto I70

Interstate 70, through Colorado, was partially closed, on Monday.

A boulder, the size of a small car, fell onto the westbound side of the freeway, early Monday morning.

It happened about mile marker 123, near the Hanging Lakes Tunnel.

Crews had to push it to the side of the freeway, and then break it up, to clear it.

They also had to fix about a foot deep hole that it put into the one lane.

One lane was closed for most of the day, and all west bound traffic was blocked from time to time, during the efforts to clear it.

Everything was expected to be taken care of for Tuesday.

No one was hurt, when the boulder fell, or afterwards.
