Traffic management center. They said they still need to fill in the hole to repair that water main and pave it. You can imagine the amount of equipment that needs to be brought in to fix this issue. So they werent exactly sure how long those cones were going to be there when i talked to them, how long the lanes would be closed for. But they did say it will likely last through rush hour. For more on how to get around it, lets toss to joel hillan. Good morning, joel. Good morning, jamie. They have to mill , lay down new pavement, wait for that to dry before they put cars on it. I would take kipling or sheridan if youre trying to access from lakewood to 6th avenue. If you head north along kipling, i think you might prefer that drive, because i think the lights are timeed better there. This will last at least through the morning, even into the afternoon commute. Live look from copter 4 this morning. We are in for a very warm day. Lie temperatures for high temperatures for us today and tomorrow. Were going to check in with him later. So hang with us here. Breaking overnight, one person is dead from a massive fire at an Apartment Building. We have an incredible rescue to tell you about. This was a 6alarm massive fire at an Apartment Building on the Upper East Side of new york city. At least 12 people are hurt, including seven firefighters. Video shows flames pouring out of windows and into the night sky. Crews have the but they are still putting out hot spots. Still no word on how it started.

Our shawn chitness is live covering the story for us. Interesting. Usually more republican ballots in early, but there are more democratic ballots in early this year. Reporter alan, thats right. Certainly its a good first indicator of where the state may be going. We know both campaigns have looked to colorado as a battleground state and thats why they keep sending big names and top members of their campaigns to our state. We will again see that later today as donald trump has his son in town. Eric trump will be speaking lakewood at Colorado Christian University, of course trying to get out the vote for his father, as well as rallying veterans in the area. That event starts at 6 00 p. M. He is just the latest member of the trump family and the campaign visiting our state. Vp nominee mike pence was in colorado yesterday, in colorado springs. The Trump Campaign released a map showing colorado as a battleground state, at least according to their numbers. Leaning towards Hillary Clinton. As for the democratic nominee, clinton was last in the state at the beginning of the month. Her campaign has also sent top names to colorado to try to get out the vote for her. Lets look at the early voting numbers in from the secretary of States Office. A total of about 416,000 coming in. Of that, 166,000 and change for democrats. A little more than 141,000 for republicans. Again, at least as of right now, the early indication is for democrats. But the secretary of States Office giving us this daily snapshot, something we can keep tracking. Shawn chitness, cbs4 morning news. Thank you. Weather and traffic every 10 minutes on the 4s.

At the bus stop, plan on 40s for the most part. Well call it a bit chilly for the end of october. Again, we all know it can be so much colder. Normally were at 61. The record is 80. That was set 50 this date, 1966. We have 81 in the forecast. Tomorrow probably even warmer than that. While we dont anticipate records for the weekend, it will stay far above normal. Well talk about all this and how long the pattern should last coming up. Now lets check the traffic. Westbound along i270, its typically slow this time of day, so you add this on top of it, this is a look from copter 4, just crews picking up cones as theyve been doing road work. Police along there, and one lane. That will be nasty. I270 and i70. Southbound coming down into town, speeds in the 60s. 9minutes from thornton to denver. Westbound i76 nice and wide open.
