I-70 (Interstate 70) Road Conditions

I-70 Road Conditions for March 26, 2026

I-70 has several clearly defined construction zones and specific ramp/road impacts today, with the most significant activity in Colorado’s mountain corridor, Missouri (Kansas City area), and localized issues in Indiana, Kansas, and Ohio. Missouri has the most detailed and impactful closures with multiple bridge closures and ramp impacts tied to the Improve I-70 program in Kansas City. Colorado has active construction and restrictions in the Floyd Hill and Idaho Springs area, including shoulder closures and width limits. Indiana and Kansas both have active lane closures tied to roadwork, and Ohio has ongoing construction contributing to travel delays. No specific same-day I-70 ramp closures were identified in Utah, Illinois, West Virginia, Maryland, or Pennsylvania in the accessible live text reports reviewed.

• Colorado: Active construction near Floyd Hill between Exit 244 (US 6) and Exit 248 (Beaver Brook) with intermittent work and prior ramp closures at Homestead Road (Exit 247). A width restriction remains in place between Idaho Springs (Exit 240) and El Rancho (Exit 251) limiting loads over 11 feet overnight. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
