👋 SR-210 CLOSED: @UDOTAvy avalanche mitigation & road operations continues.
Slides have hit the road, crews clearing where they can.
No ETO – will update when known pic.twitter.com/Fd6zyEjtSz
The slide came alongside a road closure of SR-210, with the UDOT avalanche crew continuing to mitigate along the canyon. Slides did hit the road, forcing crews to work on clearing away snow where possible.
