March 7, 11:32 a.m. – Statewide — Eastbound Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon has reopened after a safety closure, due to a rockslide at mile point 123.5. The slide came down onto the outside westbound lane. All lanes were closed as a safety precaution. One lane of westbound I-70 is anticipated to reopen shortly. CDOT’s Geohazards team is en route to further assess the slope above the roadway.Â
The slide took place at approximately 10 a.m. this morning, and is located between Grizzly Creek (exit 121) and Hanging Lake (exit 125). The slide is located east of Glenwood Springs. See below for more photos. The slide is mostly rock. Crews immediately began clearing the slide with prepositioned equipment and are making good progress on clearing the roadway. CDOT anticipates crews will be able to quickly clear the slide from the roadway. An alternate route is not recommended at this time.
