9.26.25, 9:03 pm – Westbound I-70 is closed to through traffic at Wolcott, Exit 157, due to a rolled over CMV crash that took place in Glenwood Canyon at around 6 p.m. this evening. CDOT and its partners worked tirelessly to avoid putting a detour in place — estimated to add four hours of travel time — but unfortunately, I-70 through Glenwood Canyon is an extremely challenging section of road with limited space for operations. There is no estimated time of re-opening.
The detour that is in place directs commuters onto US 6 via exit 157, Wolcott, north on HWY 131 toward Steamboat, west on US 40 towards Craig, south on HWY 13, and back on I-70 near Rifle.
