DENVER — The westbound lanes of Interstate 70 have reopened between Loveland Pass and Silverthorne following a crash that snarled traffic for nearly two hours as people began their Memorial Day weekend.
Westbound I-70 was closed between Exit 216 – US 6/Loveland Pass and Exit 206 – US 6/CO 9 and Silverthorne at around 3:07 p.m. after a pickup hauling a camper which was towing a Jeep behind it rolled over, according to a Colorado State Patrol spokesperson.
No one was injured, the spokesperson said.
Traffic cameras in the area showed traffic backed up for miles. It wasn’t immediately clear how long the closure would last, though the CSP spokesperson said only the right lane was blocked by 4:30 p.m.
The highway was fully reopened to traffic by 4:45 p.m., according to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).
