6 p.m.: Eastbound I-70 at Glenwood Springs and westbound I-70 at Parachute have reopened to traffic.

Interstate 70 was closed in several places across Colorado on Friday for crashes as a winter storm moved across the mountains and into metro Denver.

Eastbound I-70 was closed at Glenwood Springs through Glenwood Canyon to exit 129 for Bair Ranch due to a pileup crash at Hanging Lake tunnel, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. The closure was reported at 2:20 p.m.

An 18-vehicle pileup closed westbound I-70 between west Parachute and De Beque as of 11:08 a.m.

Westbound I-70 in Golden is closed at C-470 after an oversized tractor-trailer hit a bridge Friday morning, according to the Colorado State Patrol. Traffic is being diverted.
