I-70 was reopened a bit after 3 pm Thursday afternoon after being closed for more than 3 days by a major rockslide. Travelers began traversing the 1.5 mile temporary alignment just east of Glenwood Springs which runs one lane in each direction over the eastbound lanes. Travelers are restricted to 40 MPH and loads wider than 14 feet are prohibited over the alternative alignment, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Good luck folks. Take it easy.
