UPDATE: The westbound lanes of C-470 reopened around 5:30 p.m. after crews cleared roadway following a fuel spill.
DENVER — A fuel spill along the westbound lanes of C-470 has closed the roadway at Bowles Ave., Colorado State Patrol troopers said Tuesday.
The closure, first reported at around 1:24 pm., happened due to a semi saddle tank that ruptured about an hour earlier.
Troopers, along with a hazmat team and the Colorado Department of Transportation, were on scene “to address the matter,” the CSP said on X, formerly Twitter.
