Two Hour DELAYS expected on I-70 Westbound this weekend and next week

Good morning, Colorado Front Range. Your dreams of skiing were just wrecked.

The Colorado Department of Transportation plans to get as much paving done as possible before the long-term winter temperatures set in on the Westbound I-70 Mountain Express Lane project.  Paving work can be done only during daytime hours when temperatures are warmer.  Closures will continue through the night to get other work done.

One lane on westbound I-70 will be closed in the Idaho Springs area (Mile Point 241 to Mile Point 239) during these times:

3 p.m. into the night Sunday, Dec. 20

9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday, Dec.  21

9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 22

The schedule above could change depending on the weather.

Motorists can expect delays of up to two hours during peak travel times.

If motorists are planning to travel the westbound I-70 corridor, they are urged to leave early before construction starts.  There will be no planned lane closures Friday, Dec. 18, through Sunday afternoon, Dec. 20, and no planned lane closures through the Christmas holiday, Wednesday, Dec. 23 through Monday, Dec. 28.  There will be no further planned daytime closures on this project through the winter.  Should more paving work need to be done, that work will take place when the temperatures are warmer in the spring.
