Denverites traveling out of town for the weekend should keep a few potential hazards, including traffic and a flash flood watch, in mind.
Eastbound I-70 from Washington Street to I-270 will close tonight at 8 p.m. through 5 a.m. on Monday, according to Colorado’s Transportation Department.
West of the Mile High City, a flash flood watch is taking place until 9 p.m., the National Weather Service reports. Glenwood Springs, Eagle, Vail, Breckenridge, Fairplay, Estes Park and more are all situated in areas that could potentially be affected.
