DENVER — A major multi-vehicle crash closed westbound I-70 at Colorado Boulevard early Wednesday morning.

All lanes of I-70 reopened at 8:28 a.m.

As crews continued to clean up, all lanes of westbound I-70 closed. Shortly after the crash, one lane of traffic was allowed to pass, but that closed around 6:50 a.m.

A box truck was on its side in the westbound lanes.

Both sides of the highway were affected by this crash, as the box truck crashed into a temporary wall, pushing it into the left lane of eastbound I-70. That lane also closed.

As of now, there's no information available on injuries or cause of the crash.

Traffic expert Jayson Luber recommended using I-270 or Colfax to get around the crash.
