The biggest problem was in Wheat Ridge. CDOT was late in picking up the construction on west bound I-70 at Highway 58. There had been a full closures of the interstate this week during the overnight hours to work on the flyover ramp. The workers were looking at something leaking from the flyover and had to fix it before reopening the highway. The traffic jam grew back to Wadsworth and it was a long, slow delay for west side drivers. The highway finnaly reopened at 9:15 a.m.

They will try again to do that road work tonight. The highway will close both east and west bound starting at 9:30 going until 5:30 tomorrow morning. If they go late we’ll let you know.
