At Mile Marker 25 on Interstate 70, eastbound traffic is reduced to one lane. Yesterday, July 8, was the first day of the work zone, so motorists were adjusting to the change very slowly, and traffic is reported as backed up beyond 5 miles.
Next week, Friday, July 17, westbound traffic will also be reduced to one lane.
CMV/oversize load drivers might want to consider using a combination of Interstates and US Routes as an alternate.

Westbound – I-70 to I-65 North to US 24 to I-29/35 (briefly) to I-70
