Drone footage of I-70 Glenwood Canyon damage from mudslides

Move the stuff into the river channel along with all the stuff that just fell in there.

Make a little rapids there, bring in some kayaks and create a little park and a train station too, and charge money to the tourists.

Or is that deemed "environmentally irresponsible" or something?

doom on for Grand Junkyard (Grand Junction, Colorado west on I-70)

Here is drone footage of the one slide. There have been many slides over the past several weeks and we are currently under flash flood watch again today.

Why all the dead trees? Drought or insects?

Didn't Barry Hussein Sotero promise "shovel ready jobs" as part of a multi-billion dollar infrastructure program back in 2008 that promised to shore up stuff like this.

I guess that went the way of Solyndra and the California high speed train to nowhere that has yet to see a mile of track.

We suckas, suckas all!!!!

The Glenwood Canyon is ran by a bunch of twits who barricade at the sniff of a distant brush fire, stacking traffic further than the eye can see.. for days.

For them to say it's closed indefinitely is incredibly ignorant.. clear the damn debris, fix the damn road and gtfo.

They could just build a bridge over the canyon flood area.

No simple solution to this problem. It took many years to engineer and build this road. They will get it open soon if we don't get more rain, but it will take time to fix the damage.

Yeah that could work. Build the bridge on one side at a time, route the traffic to the other side. You need something for the water washing down that canyon to pass under, a bridge or at least a culvert.

Serious gold prospecting there. just sayin

Ha Ha, we have been joking that Tony Beets would have already run all that dirt through the plant, have the gold and be looking for more ground to mine..

dark clouds over the area now

Poor design on the highway to not take into account that there might be a slurry flush from the canyon.

All of Colorado is dead and dying tree's from years of chemtrailing........

Too bad the new 'democratic' infrastructure bill didn't really have any money earmarked for...Infrastructure projects.

Most of those trees are dead from the fire last summer.

we have here a lot at least in the past. this is more than forest management the way it looks above.. I have not been thru there in a long long time though.

this is earth changes folks... and its not going to slow down.

this country is going to loose more and more infrastructure for all sorts of reasons.. and around the planet.

China is sure hurting now.. California well.. Florida will.. etc etc.

do you live in glenwood? i live in no name

no.. you do not know what they are and the globe is chemtrailed to rebuilt the necessary firmament which came down around the planet causing the great flood something like 8000 years ago.. I forget exactly.

some of you ones want "normal" back.. aint' going to happen

That is an AMAZING vid of footage. Great post OP!

1. They shouldn't even bother trying to fix I70 at Glenwood Springs because the footage clearly indicates more slides to come with upcoming rains or snow melt- the next ones look as though they will break off huge chunks of the mountain toward the bottom of the slide path.

2. Which if the case indeed means a vital and isolated major cargo route is now permanently closed off once the larger pieces come down.

3. Drone cams CAN be used for good.

4. But that footage should also be a warning to those who think they will escape the devil's nwo wrath by moving up into the mountains that their drones WILL hunt down all heated life they are targeting or searching for.

Never been any gold there... but go look...

Trees are dead from beetle kill infestation.

Infernos ready to go everywhere...

How does it show that huge chunks will break off later? And if that's known, could they be pre-broken while the road is closed, the canyon made safe, and the road upgraded?

It's an important highway, and it's certainly possible to build it through that area.

One poster above pointed out that they should have engineered the road for Gully Wash Out events ... since that is what happens in the mountains. Maybe bridges over those areas like they often put roads UNDER avalanche protectors where a road goes through an major avalanche prone area.

I-70 in Glenwood Canyon is BEAUTIFUL ... but it seems to have to be closed at least yearly, sometimes more often, due to major rock falls of one sort or another onto the road. I-80 just 80 miles to the North is a MORE DEPENDABLE route through the Rockies so maybe it is time to terminate I-70 just past Vail and turn the Glenwood Canyon route into just a two lane scenic road with trucks and commercial vehicles PROHIBITTED so as to discourage people from driving it for commercial purposes ... (much like the Blue Ridge Parkway does NOT allow heavy trucks or commercial vehicles - tour buses are OK though)

You'd think they could take a hint.

Same thing happened in New Mexico last week

The MUDFLOODS Are Back.
