The Colorado Department of Transportation has shut down Loveland Pass after a rock slide on Tuesday afternoon.

The slide on U.S. 6 between Arapahoe Basin and Keystone ski areas is 50 feet wide and about 7 feet deep, said CDOT spokeswoman Crystal Morgan.

"There were no vehicles involved," she said.

Crews are on the scene, and once they secure the area will determine whether the pass can reopen after the rocks and debris are removed from the road, Morgan said, or whether more workwill be needed to stabilize the area above.

"We want to be sure the area above it is secure before we reopen," Morgan said.
