U.S. 285 one of two highways undergoing major repairs after heavy rains in Colorado
Recent rainfall has damaged more than one major highway in Colorado.
The Colorado Department of Transportation sent out an emergency contract to fix a washed out slope on Highway 285 near Parmalee Gulch in Jefferson County.
Crews placed reinforced steel bars under the highway to stabilize it.
CDOT says this is a temporary repair and they'll work to fix it permanently sometime in this summer.
And in southwestern Colorado, Highway 133 saw a large split in the road from the recent heavy rains.
CDOT says it's working to repair that road too.
