The Colorado Department of Transportation is advising motorists that heavy traffic is expected along the I-70 mountain corridor this weekend. 

This weekend will see the X Games in Aspen, Breckenridge’s annual Snow Sculpture Championships and Vail’s Freestyle Competition.  These events, combined with fresh snow, will usher in heavy traffic and lengthy travel times on I-70. 

Today’s snow is expected to favor Highway 160 and the 550 mountain areas in southwest Colorado as well as I-25 south of Pueblo.

Impacts of this storm will end statewide late tonight.
