Interstate 25, Interstate 70 Now Fully Open In Colorado After Blizzard
(CBS4) - People trying to drive in or out of Colorado via I-25, I-70 and I-76 now have an open path to do so. The Colorado Department of Transportation announced on Tuesday that the blizzard cleanup is complete on all of those interstates.
I-25 shut down between Wellington and the Colorado-Wyoming border over the weekend and it remained shut down all throughout Monday. I-70 had also been shut down between the eastern edge of the Denver metro area and the Kansas border. I-76 was shut down heading to Nebraska as well. All are now back open.
Roadways continue to improve west of Nebraska thanks to the hard work of @NebraskaDOT @ColoradoDOT & @WYDOT_I80.
