The cold front that brought a blast of snow Wednesday continued into Thursday, bringing hazardous conditions for drivers around the Denver metro area. The ongoing precipitation led to an array of road closures — both from conditions and crashes.

While there were no road closures near Denver as of 8:30 a.m. Thursday, there were a few east of the city, where snow totals and hazardous conditions have escalated beyond the metro.

As of 2:30 p.m., the following roads were closed, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation:

• I-25 Soutbound only, Pueblo to Colorado/New Mexico State Line
• I-70 Eastbound Airpark to Kansas State Line
• I-70 Westbound Kansas to Limon

Snowplows

Denver and other counties plowed heavily traveled roads first Thursday.

The City of Denver has 70 large plows and 36 smaller residential plows. Denver’s large plows can drop deicer down to provide traction on the streets. The small plows do not carry deicer.

The Aurora City Snow Operations Team still had 23 snowplows on the road applying deicing materials to the roadways, according to a spokesperson with the city of Aurora.

“City crews will continue to work, day and night shifts, likely through Saturday to maintain safe driving conditions on our roadways. The Street Operations division will continue to monitor conditions and adjust staffing and equipment levels as needed,” the spokesperson said.

In Golden, snowplows were out and moving. While there was no exact number, detailed routes can be found at Plowops.com.

In Lakewood, snowplows were out on priority streets Thursday and will continue until the snow stops, likely by Saturday, a spokesperson with the city told The Denver Gazette. Priority streets were in good condition and residential streets were not being plowed, following the city’s snow policy.
