When we last checked in on I-70, lawmakers were debating the merits of "zipper lanes [2]," which could speed up the weekend rush from many ski resorts back to the Denver area. Now, you can't take I-70 from some resorts on any kind of lane. As of yesterday morning, the highway is closed between Dotsero and Glenwood Springs in both directions after a massive rockslide, including a boulder estimated to weigh 66 tons. Officials say the road won’t reopen "any time soon," (via the Denver Business Journal [3]). The rockslide caused dozens of holes and "dips" in the roadway, according to 9News [4], which points out that nobody, thankfully, was injured. Geologists for the Colorado Department of Transportation arrived late Monday afternoon to embark on a two-hour hike up a mountain to inspect a questionable area and ensure more boulders won't fall. If they're unstable, they'll have to be dealt with before major repairs begin. Governor Bill Ritter has issued a disaster declaration in an attempt to obtain federal funds for repairs. This isn't the first time the highway has shut down for a long stretch. In November 2004, a slide in the same area along I-70 resulted in a similar closure [5].
