Mudslide causes I-70 to close in both directions

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- A massive mudslide forced I-70 to close in both directions near Glenwood Springs on Saturday.

The Colorado Department of Transportation tweeted that westbound I-70 is closed from Exit 133 in Dotsero to Exit 116 in Glenwood Springs. Eastbound lanes are now open.

At this time there is no estimated time of when I-70 will fully reopen. Drivers are asked to take alternate routes. CDOT provided a map of those alternate routes.
