Overview
- Colorado DOT said the westbound lanes reopened between Loveland Pass and Silverthorne shortly after a crash prompted a shutdown.
- The earlier closure stretched from Exit 216 to Exit 205, with westbound traffic held at the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel.
- The crash occurred late Tuesday afternoon in eastern Summit County, and authorities did not release information on the number of vehicles involved.
- Traffic cameras showed long backups and standstill conditions, and drivers were urged to avoid the corridor during the hold.
- A winter weather advisory was in effect through the evening with slick mountain roads, with rain reported at the tunnel and snow at higher elevations.
