Rock fall closes I-70 in Glenwood Canyon

The news about no one getting hurt is great news! The bad news... Well, using U.S. 40 will be a challenge for most.

On the lighter side of the rocks, how does a driver explain to Safety that boulders fell down in front of the truck?

 

Hard to tell, even from the picture, WTF is going on there!

 

I'm guessing the driver's seat is now brown in that rig. Mine would be. I frigging hate going through there.

 

Honest honey, I was just doing the speed limit and then...
How unlucky can one guy be?

 

I-70 through Glenwood Canyon was built before I started trucking. However, due to family medical problems, I was back and forth through that canyon many times as the highway was being built. I never minded the times spent waiting at road closures, because seeing what they were doing was so interesting to me.
I well remember the "old road," before I-70. US 40 through that canyon was my second favorite drive. (First one being the Arkansas River Canyon on US 50 between Cannõn CIty and Salida.)
After starting trucking, I ran back and forth between St. George, UT and Denver on a weekly basis. Even in the winter I loved that drive through the canyon and over the top. (Yes, I mean over the top. I usually ran high cubes, so had to go over the pass rather than through the Eisenhower Tunnel.)

 

Holy $#!+, the insurance company is never gonna believe this one .

 

I blame this on eobr


Now that i blamed someone

That must have been one good hit lol.

 

Is it still closed, I'm headed to grand junction for Monday morning.
