Denver, CO – The Colorado State Patrol has issued an urgent travel alert for eastbound travelers on Interstates 70 and 76, as well as Highways 50, 40, and 160. Authorities urge drivers to avoid these routes during a severe winter storm sweeping through the area.
According to the Colorado State Patrol, conditions have become treacherous with limited visibility and slick road surfaces. Eastbound travelers are advised not to continue driving with plans to “ride out the storm” at local hotels, as accommodations are fully booked across affected areas.
Officials recommend delaying any eastbound trips until the storm has fully cleared. Heavy snowfall and icy conditions are expected to persist, posing risks for motorists who continue their travel.
This advisory emphasizes safety and suggests that drivers find alternative routes or wait until conditions improve. State Patrol officers are actively monitoring highways and urge drivers to check local updates for the latest road conditions.
For more information, travelers should stay tuned to official channels for updates on the storm’s progress and road closures.
