it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate
but when excess of co2 is passed it turns into a precipitate of calcium carbonate and water remains colourless
EQ
Ca(OH)2+CO2---- CaCO3

Explanation :

When the excess carbon dioxide gas is passed through the lime water, it turns milky first due to the formation of the calcium carbonate as a precipitate which is insoluble in water and then become colorless due to the formation of calcium bicarbonate.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

Ca(OH)_2(l)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)+H_2O(l)

On passing excess of carbon dioxide gas, the colorless calcium bicarbonate is formed.

The balanced reaction will be,

CaCO_3(s)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow Ca(HCO_3)_2(aq)
