Workers with Apex Rockfall Mitigation reinstall two metal beams and a metal curtain that catches falling rock Tuesday above Colorado Highway 3. Crews have been scaling the cliffside knocking down loose and dangerous rock above the road this past week. The fence repair should be completed today with the highway reopening to traffic Thursday evening or Friday morning. (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
