A rockslide early Monday morning (3/8/2010) has forced the closure of I-70 through Glenwood Canyon in both directions.
The slide happened at just after midnight just West of the Hanging Lake Tunnel.
Both East and Westbound lanes are closed.
Several detour routes are in place: From westbound I-70: exit at US 40/Empire to State Highway 13 and back to I-70; exit in Silverthorne and take State Highway 9 to US 40 and State Highway 13; exit at Wolcott/State Highway 131 to US 40 and State Highway 13.
From eastbound I-70: exit at Rifle/State Highway 13 to US 40 and back to I-70.
CDOT crews are on site assessing the slide area and damage to the roadway
