A crash in the area of the expected closure shut down westbound lanes earlier Monday between exit 190 (Vail Pass Summit) and exit 180. Drivers are advised to avoid the area. A number of other vehicle slide-offs happened on this stretch of I-70 that required first responder assistance ahead of the scheduled closure. That included a gas tanker that went of the roadway and began leaking fuel on the interstate at around 9:15 a.m. Fire crews responded to mop up the area.
