Eastbound Lanes Of I-70 Expected To Reopen At 1 p.m. After Semi Truck Removal – CBS Denver

EAGLE, Colo. (CBS4) – Eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 at Eagle are expected to reopen at around 1 p.m. on Sunday. They were closed at 8 a.m. in order for road crews to remove an overturned semi truck.

The closure was planned as Colorado State Patrol, the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office and Colorado Department of Transportation warned drivers on Friday. There is a detour in place — drivers will take eastbound U.S. 6 to Wolcott. Then they can re-enter the interstate.

CSP says a crane and tow trucks worked to pull the tractor and trailer onto the road to get hauled away.
