All lanes of Interstate 70 are closed in Glenwood Canyon between mile markers 116 and 133 due to gravel on the road.
Gravel Closes I-70
The area of the slide is considered so rough that even Native American trails avoided it, according to historical accounts. At least two lanes are expected to be open soon, however, major construction will be required to return the highway to full serviceability. Currently, traffic is being detoured east of the slide from Wolcott north to Steamboat Springs, then west to Craig, south to Meeker, and , finally, returning I-70 west of the slide at Rifle.
Update your travel plans accordingly.
