UPDATE | The westbound lanes of Interstate 70 at Lookout Mountain reopened after a crash closed the highway for more than an hour Saturday morning.
DENVER — The westbound lanes of Interstate 70 at Lookout Mountain are closed due to a crash Saturday morning, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
Westbound I-70 between Exit 256—Lookout Mountain and Exit 248—Beaver Brook/Floyd Hill is closed. There is no estimated time when it will reopen.
The crash at the El Rancho exit (251) has caused a traffic backup in the area.
CDOT is detouring traffic onto US 40 via Exit 254 west to Homestead Road, where westbound traffic can return to I-70.
