LITTLE COTTONWOOD CANYON, Utah — For the second time this week, a mudslide forced the closure of Little Cottonwood Canyon to traffic.

The Utah Department of Transportation said Friday's new mudslide occurred in the same location on SR-210 as the one that closed the road for nearly 24 hours beginning Tuesday.
According to UDOT, the mudslide was naturally occurring and it appeared much smaller than the 100-foot-wide slide that crossed the road days earlier.
After several hours of cleanup, the road reopened to traffic at around 4:30 p.m., but UDOT warns that future closures may happen at any time and drivers should be prepared.
