"The closure, which stretched from East Vail at Exit 180 to the summit of Vail Pass at Exit 190, was officially lifted by 10:30 a.m. after state transportation officials cleared the scene and reopened the roadway."
"Traffic cameras in the area at 8:30 a.m. captured images of empty, snow-covered lanes as flurries continued to fall heavily across the high country."
"The heavy, wet snow left more than 55,000 residents without power and triggered various school delays and closures throughout the Denver metro area."
"Forecasters and transportation officials urge travelers to remain cautious, as road surfaces may remain slick despite the reopening of major thoroughfares."
A late-season spring snowstorm on May 6 caused major travel disruptions along Colorado's I-70 corridor, leading to a multi-hour closure near Vail Pass due to jackknifed semitrailers. Snow totals reached 30 inches in some areas, and the closure affected eastbound traffic for over two hours. The storm also left over 55,000 residents without power and caused school delays in the Denver metro area. Accumulating snow is expected to continue until the afternoon, with warnings for slick road conditions.
