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.

After all the debris is removed, CDOT will start phase two which will see engineering teams examine slope stability and complete a final cleanup before the road can be reopened.
