Officials close I-25, U.S. 34 Friday afternoon due to fire
Transportation officials on Friday afternoon closed both directions of Interstate 25 between U.S. 34 and CO-402, because of a fire caused when two trucks collided. Both directions of U.S. 34 at I-25, specifically between I-25 and Rocky Mountain Avenue, were also closed.
The fire has been put out and bridge inspectors have been working to make sure the U.S. 34 overpass is safe to drive under, Colorado Department of Transportation spokesperson Jared Fiel told The Denver Gazette.
U.S. 34 reopened around 4:30 p.m., the transportation department tweeted. I-25 remains closed with no estimated time when the lanes may reopen.
