All of EB 6th Ave is closed after Sheridan for a serious motorcycle crash. Backups from Wadsworth right now. Colfax or I-70 are the best alternates. pic.twitter.com/6jiMMbJXdR

I count a total of 9 cars and one motorcycle in the series of crashes EB 6th Ave after Sheridan. It will take a long time to clear all the wreckage and get all lanes open. Better to use Colfax or I-70 or other roads EB other than 6th Ave. pic.twitter.com/5OEUaSTyI7
