U.S. Highway 160 over Wolf Creek Pass closed Monday afternoon, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

CDOT said in a traffic alert the entire pass from mile markers 144 to 186 is shut down as a result of a “vehicle recovery.”

CDOT said there is no estimated time for the highway to reopen.

CDOT spokeswoman Lisa Schwantes did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday afternoon. No further information was available as of 6 p.m. Monday.

Earlier Monday, Red Mountain Pass between Silverton and Ouray closed for about three hours after a semitrailer rolled over.
