I-70 lanes in Colo. to be closed

Nov 5, 2010

The Colorado Department of Transportation will repair short segments of Interstate 70 Nov. 8-10, requiring lane closures near Idaho Springs.

One lane of eastbound or westbound I-70 will be closed at various locations from 6 a.m. until approximately 5 p.m. for asphalt patching and bridge expansion joint repairs. Work is scheduled for eastbound I-70 during morning hours and on westbound I-70 in the afternoons.

A major paving and bridge improvement project is scheduled to begin along this segment of I-70 in spring 2011.

ATRI's Rebecca Brewster told attendees of a fleet conference they should be doing more to increase parking options for operators, pointing out that many of attendees likely drove past trucks parked on the shoulders and ramps of highways for lack of parking. 'This is an untenable positions drivers are faced with,' she said.
