Two closures on Highway 85 spark heavy traffic

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Two different sections of Highway 85 are closed, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
The first section of Highway 85 is closed in both directions due to a crash at Mile Point 137, roughly where Highway 85 meets I-25 in the Stratmoor area.

The second closure is impacting the northbound lanes between Mart Plaza and Glenarm Road. CDOT says that the closure is also due to a crash. Initially, all northbound lanes were closed, but CDOT says that the crash has now been consolidated to the right lane.
