We just were told that the road is open, much sooner than expected! Thanks for the hard work Colorado Department of Transportation!
Around 2 p.m. on July 16, 2019, Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District was paged to mile marker 53 on Highway 133 for a report of a debris flow.
Upon arrival, crews found both lanes of Highway 133 covered in rocks, mud, and other material. The road is impassable. The Pitkin County Sheriff and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) are restricting access to anyone who does not live in the area.
CDOT is on scene with heavy equipment to clear Highway 133. The road is anticipated to open by 5 pm.
There were no injuries.
Pitkin County Sheriff's Office and Colorado Department of Public Safety also responded.

It’s at the turn off to the White River National Forest campground. Redstone can be accessed on this road. The turn off to Redstone is a mile or so South, may be mile marker 51.
This is just before Penny Hot Springs.

It wasn’t on the news!
Thank you, Carbondale and Rural Fire District.
CORRECTION - this is a rockslide, not a mudslide.
We've received reports of a mudslide on Highway 133, 2 miles north of the Penny Hot Springs (appx mile marker 53). Please avoid the area.
The road was opened to two lane / two way traffic at 3:45pm. Fast work!! It was a beautiful afternoon to be waiting! ;)
