Yes 550 had a massive rock slide near the end of the Alpine Loop on the Ouray end. It was closed during the day and was alternating one-way in the evening and night time. The road was sluffed off west side and cyclone fence type nets were up on the east side with obvious damage from falling rock. I read that the rock was still unstable above 550 and the work going on was removing the unstable rock. The demolition was going during the daylight hours. Road repair will not begin until the rock quits coming down. Getting our Jeep back to Durango we noticed the traffic was nil.
