The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is hosting a six-part mini-documentary on the impacts of the Grizzly Creek Fire on Glenwood Canyon at the Crystal Theatre in Carbondale on Wednesday, August 26. The event is free to the public.

“To commemorate the five-year anniversary of the catastrophic 2021 landslides, known as debris flows, that buried Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon on Aug. 1, 2021, the Colorado Department of Transportation has released a six-part mini-documentary series titled “From Ashes to Asphalt: The Glenwood Canyon Recovery,” the agency reported.

“The series provides a behind-the-scenes look at the resilience of Colorado’s infrastructure and the round-the-clock efforts of maintenance crews, engineers, geologists, heavy equipment operators and emergency responders,” the CDOT news release noted. “Together, these crews worked tirelessly to battle the Grizzly Creek Fire in 2020 and establish safety protocols in 2021, ultimately restoring the interstate after it was severed by thousands of tons of rock and mud.”
