Traffic on Interstate 25 north of Denver was backed up for hours Saturday as workers clean up an accident on the westbound ramp of U.S. Highway 36.
The accident happened at about 3:15 p.m. and the ramp, which accessed from the northbound lanes of I-25, remained closed until 7:50 p.m., according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
A semi truck hauling asphalt lost its load.
Further details on the accident were not available. The same accident also shut down traffic westbound on I-270 over I-25.
Through the weekend the northbound ramp of I-225 from southbound I-25 will be closed for construction, according to CDOT. That ramp is scheduled to reopen at 5:30 a.m. Monday.
