Rolled Truck Blocks All Lanes of Eastbound I-70 At Colorado
POSTED May 14, 2:00 PM
All lanes of Eastbound I-70 are blocked by a truck that rolled and ended up under the Colorado Blvd. bridge.  As you can see in this picture, courtesy of CDOT, wreckers are on the scene, trying to get that truck out from under the bridge.

Eastbound I-70 traffic is being is being detoured onto Colorado.

Traffic on Colorado is also affected.  As you can see, the ramp from Sorthbound Colorado to Eastbound I-70 is blocked, too. 

 Westbound I-70 is open.  The accident did not close that side of the highway.  As you can see in this second picture, westbound I-70 is very backed up with stop and go traffic because everyone is trying to see what is going on in the eastbound lanes.

The bad news is there is really no great way around this snafu on I-70.  You could try northbound I-25 to eastbound I-76 to eastbound I-270, but that is going to be backed up because of traffic trying to get on I-70.

This accident happened about 12:45 this afternoon.

There is no word on when Eastbound I-70 will reopen.
