Morning snow across the Denver area on Wednesday slicked up the roads during the morning commute, causing dozens of crashes and shutting down parts of highways.
As of 9 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation, road closures included:
- Southbound Colorado 93 between Arvada and Fairmount for unspecified safety concerns,
- The two right lanes of eastbound Interstate 70 from exit 244 for U.S. 6 to exit 248 at Floyd Hill for a stalled vehicle,
- The right lane of E-470 before exit 28 for Peña Boulevard, near Denver International Airport, for a crash,
- And the right lane of eastbound U.S. 36 in Broomfield, between East Flatiron Crossing Drive and Wadsworth Boulevard, for a crash.
Several lanes of southbound Interstate 25 were closed in Lone Tree for a crash earlier Wednesday morning, but the highway had fully reopened as of 8:15 a.m., according to state transportation officials.
Colorado 93 was also previously closed in both directions between 58th Avenue near Fairmount and Colorado 72 near Arvada after more than a dozen cars slid off the road Wednesday morning, Colorado State Patrol spokesperson Ivan Alvarado said.
No injuries were reported, Alvarado said. The northbound roadway opened shortly after 8:30 a.m., according to CDOT.
Denver police responded to 26 crashes between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., according to the department. It’s unclear if anyone was injured in those crashes.
“Take it slow, leave room, and drive safe!” Denver police officials wrote on social media.
