Got a call at the shop yesterday from C-DOT saying that I-70 was going to be closed from friday to monday. Traffic will be directed to Golden, and then through 6 to get to I-70. Just letting everyone know before you take the long drive up.

They said they were doing something on the overpass that collapsed and killed that family a while ago.
