IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Colorado State Patrol (CSP) has reopened Interstate 70 after a semi-truck rolled over near Idaho Springs. 

CSP reopened Interstate 70 around 11 p.m. Thursday.

CSP initially tweeted at 8:12 p.m. Thursday that the eastbound lanes of I-70 were closed in Idaho Springs because a rolled semi was blocking all lanes of traffic. 

Passenger vehicles had to use exit 240 to drive through town, CSP said, but semis would not fit. Commercial drivers were asked to wait in a chain station. 

CSP and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) assisted Idaho Springs Police at the scene.
