Road closures around Colorado: Updated list, including U.S. 24 east of Colorado Springs

While the big snow storm that dumped more than 20 inches of snow in some metro areas around Colorado is over, several weather-related highway closures remained as of 9 a.m. Saturday.

U.S. 24 remained closed in both directions between Colorado Springs to Limon, and southbound Interstate 25 from Pueblo New Mexico was also closed Saturday morning, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Late Friday afternoon, commercial motor vehicles were prohibited from traveling on southbound I-25, between C470 (exit 194) and Academy Boulevard, due to “lack of parking and resources between the Denver area and Colorado Springs,” according to the Colorado State Patrol.

The restrictions also applied to towed vehicles, and were in effect until 8 a.m. Saturday. Other roadways, including both directions of Interstate 70 from Golden to Silverthorne were included in the ban.
