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
