A massive boulder that plowed its way down and destroyed a Colorado highway on May 24, making it impassable, was blasted apart as construction crews worked tirelessly to reopen the highway.
The 2.5-million-pound rock tumbled from a ridge about 1,000 feet above before landing onto the two-lane Colorado Highway 145, between Cortez and Telluride, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).
