The Colorado Department of Transportation has closed I-70 eastbound from E-470 to the Kansas State Line due to inclement weather. The westbound lanes remain open. This is the second time in the past two days that the highway has been closed.

CDOT closed I-70 eastbound Wednesday morning. It remained closed most of Thursday. A break in the snow and efforts by crews to clear the highway allowed it to reopen Thursday evening around 10 p.m.

Crews closed the eastbound lanes again at 6:46 a.m. Friday due to inclement weather. Drivers were warned to expect delays due to safety reasons. CDOT has given no indication of when the highway will reopen.
