Aurora police recommended morning commuters take an alternate route. Drivers heading northbound on S Parker Road are being diverted onto eastbound E Hampden Avenue. And westbound E Hampden Avenue drivers are being diverted onto southbound S Parker Road, according to Aurora PD.
A possible alternate could be Arapahoe Road from Parker Road to Interstate 25 to get around the wreck and closures, Denver7 Traffic Expert Jayson Luber said.
You can also go north on Chambers Road and take Chambers from Parker Road to W Iliff Avenue, and then over to Interstate 225, according to Luber.
The crash first happened around 2:15 a.m. Wednesday, Aurora police said.
Arapahoe Rd is open and looking fine from Parker to I-25. that is a good way around the closure of NB Parker Rd at Hampden. If you go north on Chambers you can take that from Parker Rd to Iliff then over to I-225.
