A partial closure was impacting the eastbound Express lanes of I-70, according to the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office, which said traffic was backed up for around 8 miles due to a crash around mile marker 241.
Shortly after posting that alert on social media, the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office said another issue is causing problems on I-70 westbound.
"Left lane is open I-70 West at MM 231. Right lane is still blocked," posted law enforcement, which was an update from previously posting that both lanes were blocked.
As of 2:15 p.m., the eastbound side issue was cleared up — the sheriff's office saying:
"This crash has been cleared on I-70 East at MM 241 and all lanes are open. But it’ll take a while to clear the traffic backup queue."
Moments later, Clear Creek added that the westbound side crash was cleared and all lanes were back open.
