CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, Colo. — Eastbound Interstate 70 in Georgetown is closed due to a semitruck fire, according to the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office.
Law enforcement is not allowing the truckers to use the Front Road detour past the lake, as of 6:48 a.m. Wednesday, so traffic is stacking up along eastbound I-70, Luber said.
The Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office said eastbound traffic is being diverted onto Argentine Street and Alvarado Road at Georgetown.
