Northbound Interstate 25 just south of Denver has reopened after a complete shut down of the highway as a late snowstorm triggers crashes across Colorado.
I-25 was temporarily closed at Castle Pines Parkway before 6 a.m. Now the highway is reopened, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

The two left lanes of westbound Interstate 70 at Colorado Boulevard are blocked following a crash, according to CDOT.
The right two lanes of eastbound I-70 have also been reopened after they were closed near Morrison due to another crash, CDOT says.
A semi-tractor trailer is blocking both lanes of U.S. 50 between County Road 229 and County Road 228, CDOT says.
Meantime, chain laws meant for winter driving conditions are in effect on many roads in the mountains.
Mountain snow leaving lower mtn valley roads still wet, slushy at higher elevations.
Over the urban corridor, areas of rain and snow occurring, roads remaining wet, with some slush closer to foothills and Palmer/Cheyenne Ridges.— NWS Boulder (@NWSBoulder)
