Crash With Semi Closes Westbound I-76 During Morning Commute

Morning closures produced delays of up to 25 minutes for drivers.

AURORA, CO - JUNE 13: A road closed sign keeps cars and people out of the construction of East 64th Ave off of Jackson Gap Street on July 13, 2022 in Aurora, Colorado. More than 38% of AuroraÕs land remains undeveloped, but the city has been attracting new business and commercial development as well as new residential construction. This construction is part of the Porteos development project which is a 750-acre development of planned office, industrial, retail, hotel and restaurant space with several buildings completed and construction under way on others. In the distance is Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention center to the right. The future projects of Denali Logistics Park to the east or left, and High Point, to the west, or right, are under construction. (Photo by Helen H. Richardson/The Denver Post)
