A stretch of Loveland Pass in the Colorado high country remains closed after a landslide, but CDOT says the first stage of the cleanup effort is nearly complete.

Loveland Pass closed on Sunday, following the landslide at 5:30 a.m. at an area known as Scottys Curves. According to CDOT, the slide was caused by melting snow saturating materials above the roadway. This was the first partial slide in the area since 2003.
