I-70 & Youngfield were already a mess this week because of construction. Thanks for the post.

Thanks Walter! There's been a huge police activity going on near there at Denver West today as well. Sounds like a good area to avoid this afternoon.

Fire is out... they may open westbound (or keep it open... this has been quickly developing)...

They are shutting down entrance at Denver West (just heard that)... I don't know if both directions or not... from the Wheatridge side of 70 and Youngfield... they are opening westbound...

Thanks for the info - I was gonna head home that way to avoid the parking lot thru Golden, but I guess I'd rather creep than not move at all.

1 lane open eastbound (the left lane)... opening eastbound entrance at Denver West... but with only one lane open... there's going to be a backup for a long while.

Once again... fluid situation... as I type, they are debating what, where, if... to open this and that.

Eastbound I70 at Youngfield is going to be closed another 2 hours... westbound is open... but I would stay away from that whole stretch from Denver West to 38th UNLESS you are already travelling westbound from some point above 38th or getting on around C470.

All the westbound entrances along that stretch is going to be very busy.
