The Colorado Department of Transportation has just announced that I-70 westbound lanes have been closed at mile marker 215 due to multiple spun out vehicles. Details about if there are injuries or when the lanes will reopen have not been released.

As heavy snow starts to fall across much of Colorado, bringing more than 20+ inches of snow to some areas, traffic issues have started to arise.

According to Colorado Department of Transportation, eastbound lanes of US 40 have been closed at mile marker 239 and mile marker 243 due to an accident. This is the portion of Berthoud Pass that passes Colorado Mines Peak, which is known for housing a number of towers at its 12, 506-foot summit. Berthoud Pass reaches a maximum altitude of 11,306 feet.

Here’s their depiction of where the accident occurred.

Additional information about this wreck is not known at the time.

Traffic is also backed up in the Colorado Springs area, with bumper to bumper traffic in a number of spots around the city due to slick roads and a number of wrecks.

If you’re on the roads in the Centennial State, make sure you’ve read information about the new traction law. Find it here.
