Multiple Incidents Disrupt Colorado and West Virginia Highways

Drivers on I-70 can expect significant delays due to two separate semi-truck accidents this week, with the latest incident involving a collision near Edwards that has closed eastbound lanes for over eight hours. The Colorado State Patrol is investigating the cause, which may include driver fatigue, while two individuals were hospitalized from the eastbound truck. Meanwhile, Route 61/The Grade near Darkwater Road will face traffic stoppages this weekend as crews undertake a major rock removal project, potentially causing delays of up to 15 minutes. In West Virginia, I-79 remains closed following a tractor-trailer accident that spilled a corrosive substance onto the roadway, causing significant traffic backups. Additionally, a recent rockslide on U.S. Highway 40 has delayed cleanup efforts from another semi-truck crash on I-70 in Glenwood Canyon. These incidents highlight ongoing concerns about safety and infrastructure on major highways.
