I-70 closed east of Utah in Clorado.

One of our usual Winter drives into Denver, CO is closed due to a rock slide. This may be a long time closure and the shortest by-pass will add about 140 miles to your trip. Rock slide on I-70 in Colorado

I used to drive through there at least once a year going between So. Cal and Boulder, it was under construction for the entire 10+ years.

Always a beautiful drive but always wondered about falling rocks especially after they "blew up" the side of the mountain before letting us pass.

That is not an unusual place for rockslides to occur. Reports are always that it will take a significant amount of time to reopen, and they always find a way to get traffic moving again in a reasonable amount of time.

The work will not be ideal, but better than the detour.

CDOT said it will be closed till Thursday then it will one lane only for both directions so they will alternate cars east and lead by a pilot car till it is fixed could be another week or more

Holy smokes Batman - we were just driving back last Sunday. Glad the slide waited until Monday.

Hope they have it cleared by August.
