MONUMENT, Colo. — Blowing snow and low visibility has forced the closure of several highways across Colorado.
In a post on X, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said multiple semis jack-knifed on southbound Interstate 25 near Monument due to low visibility.
Southbound I-25 is closed at South County Line Road (mile marker 163). It is unclear when the roadway will reopen.
The Palmer Divide, including the city of Castle Rock, is under a winter weather advisory through Wednesday morning for snow accumulations between 1 and 3 inches and wind gusts up to 60 mph.
“Snow and blowing snow could reduce visibility to a quarter mile or less. Plan on difficult travel at times, especially late this evening,” said National Weather Service forecasters.
