There have been several crashes on Colorado\u2019s roads Thursday morning after an overnight snowstorm dumped as much as 11 inches in some areas. While there was not a lot of accumulation in Denver, getting into the city has been challenging.<\/p>\n
The Colorado Department of Transportation has 315 plows out treating roads. Snow remains on some highways, but most roads in the metro area are just slick.<\/p>\n
The worst of the traffic is on Interstate 25. The northbound lanes of the highway have seen several crashes between I-25 and Interstate 70. At one point, there were a handful of crashes on I-25, all near the University of Denver.<\/p>\n
There are also more crashes on the southbound side of I-25, with lanes blocked near Arapahoe Road.<\/p>\n
Essentially every road that ventures into the mountains has traction laws in effect.<\/p>\n
