I-70 lane closures, changes as Floyd Hill project enters next construction phase

DENVER — I-70 lane closures and traffic shifts will greet drivers starting this month as the I-70 Floyd Hill Project enters its next phase of construction. Here's what to expect if traveling to the mountains.

I-70 east and westbound lanes will shift to the outside shoulders while crews work along the interstate’s median, said CDOT. “However, overnight lane closures on I-70 will occur semi-regularly. Lane closure hours will vary based on season, day of week, number of lanes closed and the travel direction. Drivers should stay on I-70 and expect reduced lane and shoulder widths, reduced speed limits and increased truck traffic entering and exiting the work zones,” said the agency.
