A stretch of Loveland Pass in the Colorado high country remains closed after a landslide, but the Colorado Department of Transportation says the first stage of the cleanup effort is nearly complete.The 100 foot wide landslide happened early Sunday evening and covered Highway 6 with a wall of mud and debris that is 15 to 20 feet high.

Loveland Pass reopened Wednesday afternoon after a Sunday morning landslide shut down the section of U.S. 6 for days, according to CDOT.
