Traffic eastbound on I-70 through Clear Creek County detoured to US 6 at base of Floyd Hill. S2

They are clearing out the last of the vehicles in the 20-car accident at Evergreen Pkwy. Will hopefully be moving the closure up the highway, but it will likely be another 30 minutes before they get to that point.
