A pair of semi-trucks drive down Lincoln Avenue on Sunday afternoon, something not normally seen through downtown Steamboat Springs. U.S. Highway 40 has been the main detour with Interstate 70 through Glenwood Canyon closed on and off because of mudslides near the Grizzly Creek burn scar.
While the Steamboat Springs Fourth of July Parade was moved to Yampa Street this year, the parade traffic might still have been moving quicker than a trip east on Lincoln Avenue before noon Sunday.
The traditional parade route traded in the festivities for the sounds of diesel engines and air brakes as U.S. Highway 40 through downtown Steamboat was again the main detour for the oft-closed of late Interstate 70 through Glenwood Canyon.
Post Independent Staff Report
A screenshot from the Colorado Department of Transportation cameras shows a debris slide near Bair Ranch on Interstate 70.
UPDATE, Saturday 6:06 p.m. –
There is no estimated time for reopening Interstate 70 through Glenwood Canyon as crews will be working through the evening and into the night to clear multiple slides.
“Due to the confined space on the interstate roadway in the canyon, a limited amount of equipment can operate safely in the corridor,” an update from the Colorado Department of Transportation states. “Removal of the mud and debris will require extensive work throughout the evening and night.”
