A rockslide prompted the closures of Colorado 96 and Colorado 165 in Custer County on Sunday evening, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

In a news release, CDOT said Colorado 96 was closed in both directions from Westcliffe to Wetmore due to an active rockslide around the area of McKenzie Junction. The closure points are located at the junction of highways 96 and 165 at mile marker 26.2 in Wetmore to Westcliffe at mile marker 0.01.

Colorado 165 was closed northwest of Rye at mile marker 28.

Local traffic will be permitted through closure points to access properties on either side of the affected area.

CDOT said the area was unsafe to begin mitigation because rocks continued to fall Sunday. Geo-technical crews were scheduled to access the area Monday to determine the stability of the mountainside for clean-up.

Here are the alternate routes, according to CDOT:

Western CO 96: North on CO 67 to US Highway 50, West on US 50 to CO 69, South on CO 69 to Westcliffe

Eastern CO 96: North on CO 69 to US 50, East on US 50 to CO 67, South on CO 67 to Wetmore

CO 165: South on CO 165 to Interstate 25, North on I-25 to CO 96, West on CO 96 to Wetmore
