After a hectic morning of road closures and traffic delays, things are finally getting back to normal in Lakewood. The northbound lanes of Wadsworth Boulevard, which were shut down near West Alameda Avenue due to a water main break, have been reopened to the public. This news comes straight from the Lakewood police and the Colorado Department of Transportation, who have been working tirelessly to resolve the issue.
According to reports, a water main break caused significant flooding on the road, forcing authorities to close off the affected area. This caused quite a stir amongst commuters, with many having to find alternate routes to their destinations. But thankfully, the situation has been resolved and the road is now back in action. However, this wasn't the only incident causing traffic troubles in the area today.
In Broomfield, a motorcyclist tragically lost their life in a crash on U.S. 36. And in Fort Collins, a fatal crash on northbound I-25 forced the closure of the road for several hours. Similarly, a crash in Glenwood Springs resulted in the closure of eastbound I-70, causing major delays for travelers. And let's not forget the ongoing rock scaling project near Floyd Hill, which has been causing daily closures and traffic headaches for months now. But the good news is that the project is coming to an end, with I-70 reopening in both directions near Idaho Springs after a recent closure.
As for the water main break in Lakewood, it was first reported by police spokesperson John Romero. He stated that water was flowing from a crack in the road, leading to the closure of the northbound lanes from Alameda to West Bayaud Avenue. But after hours of hard work and dedication, the road was finally reopened at 3 p.m., allowing traffic to flow smoothly once again.
