GARFIELD COUNTY, Colo. — A crash and an avalanche caused closures Wednesday along the Interstate 70 corridor in the mountains.
The crash, involving an overturned semi, had the westbound lanes of I-70 closed near Glenwood Canyon between Exit 133 (Dotsero) and Exit 129 (Bair Ranch), according to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).
All lanes reopened after 1 p.m., CDOT said.
U.S. 6 on Loveland Pass was closed in both directions between I-70 and Montezuma Road due to an avalanche about 9 a.m. Wednesday.
The avalanche was about 600 feet wide and several hundred feet long, according to the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office.
CDOT said U.S. 6 was not impacted but was closed for cleanup.
U.S. 6 reopened in both directions at noon, according to CDOT.
