Yeah, the road was closed for quite a while. My wife called to warn me, but thankfully I had a load to Santa Fe. That canyon is a terrible place to have to shut down the interstate. The detour adds about 100 miles and 2 hours.

As a relative newbie to Colorado, ( 3.5 years) I had never been through the canyon, but on a recent trip to Rifle, I can say it's one of the most stunning drives. It follows the Colorado River, and how they put an interstate through there in the 1st place, is nothing short of an engineering marvel. They are constantly working on the stretch, and there's really no other way around the canyon. I-70 is it, so this was a major problem for many, especially this weekend.. There are a couple tunnels, and tight turns, and reduced speed limits all the time. Classic screwup here, and westbound, which I believe they were going, is elevated above the eastbound side, so it was a ride they won't forget anytime soon. Nice goin', yutz.

While it is impressive in both directions, you can really appreciate the engineering efforts when running the eastbound side through there.Blue jeans, Bud A., Flat Earth Trucker and 3 others Thank this. -
Back in 05, watched a truck in the left lane crawl up the median barrier and roll onto a car it was passing. Occupants were killed immediately.
Blue jeans and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this.
