JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — Snow in the foothills and Front Range of Colorado has caused a few closures along US 285 and Interstate 70 on Tuesday evening.

The southbound lanes of US 285 near Morrison closed around 8 p.m., according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. The closure begins at Willow Springs Road, at mile point 248.5. CDOT said the closure is due to a stalled vehicle on the snowy roads.

At 8:52 p.m., CDOT added that the eastbound lanes of I-70 west of Genesee are also now closed. The closure runs between the bottom of Floyd Hill and exit 251 near Highway 40.
