CO2 reacts with lime water Ca(OH)2 to give CaCO3 which is milky but on continuously passing CO2, Ca(HCO3)2 is formed and its soluble. Thus, the solution turns colourless.

Ca2+ + 2 OH- + CO2,gas --> CaCO3,precip. + H2O

On further addition of carbon dioxide it clears up again:

CaCO3,precip. + H2O + CO2,gas --> Ca2+ + 2HCO3- , which both are soluble ions.
