Westbound Interstate 70 reopened at Golden after an oversized tractor-trailer hit a bridge, according to the Colorado State Patrol. 

The highway was closed for more than five hours on Friday after the Colorado State Patrol reported the closure in Golden at 11:06 a.m. Traffic was diverted to Colorado 470.

No injuries were reported and the Colorado Department of Transportation responded to the bridge.

The truck that was wedged under the bridge was carrying an 80,000-pound load, the state patrol posted on X.

Interstate 70 was also entirely shut down for about four hours in Glenwood Springs due to a crash, and westbound lanes are closed in DeBeque due to an 18-car pileup.
