I-70 experiences frequent winter closures, accidents, and weather delays that impact travel times. Checking conditions helps you plan departure times and avoid getting stranded. Fresh Tracks continuously monitors roads, so you don’t have to worry.
Visit COtrip.org for live CDOT cameras and real-time closure alerts. You can also call 511 for automated highway updates. Fresh Tracks Transportation includes road monitoring as part of our airport shuttle service.
Heavy snowfall, avalanche risk, and multi-vehicle accidents are the primary causes of closures. Eisenhower Tunnel closures also stop all traffic on I-70. CDOT closes highways when conditions become too dangerous for safe travel.
Our drivers monitor conditions before departure and have alternative route options. We communicate delays immediately and adjust schedules as needed. Safety always comes first – we never risk passenger wellbeing.
