Five years ago, historic mudslides struck Colorado’s Glenwood Canyon, damaging the I‑70 corridor. The event prompted a rapid recovery effort that restored the highway and surrounding infrastructure. The work included clearing debris, repairing bridges, and reinforcing slopes to prevent future slides.
A creator of a new short documentary series highlighted the destruction and response, underscoring that nature’s power remains decisive. The series, produced by CPR News, documents the challenges faced by residents and officials during the recovery process.
