Interstate 70 remains closed Wednesday morning through Glenwood Canyon as crews assess mudslides
Interstate 70 remains closed Wednesday morning through Glenwood Canyon as crews assess “several mudslides”
News NEWS | 12h ago | Developing

Interstate 70 remains closed Wednesday morning in both directions between the Dotsero and Glenwood Springs exits because of “several mudslides” Tuesday night in the Glenwood Canyon.
In a tweet sent about 11:05 p.m., the Colorado Department of Transportation said “crews are monitoring and assessing several mudslides on #I70 in Glenwood Canyon. Safety is the top priority tonight and crews will begin clean up once it is safe to do so.”
As of 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, the interstate remains shutdown.
Officials said the mudslides on the roadway were caused Tuesday afternoon and evening by rain on the Grizzly Creek Fire burn area. They did not give an estimated time on when the interstate would reopen.
I-70 is also closed from the West Rifle to Canyon Creek exits further west but is open to local traffic at Exit 109, Canyon Creek.
