The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has issued a travel advisory ahead of the upcoming holiday weekend.
CDOT warns that a powerful winter storm and arctic front are expected to affect the I-70 mountain corridor. Drivers in the central mountains should anticipate icy roads, which will create challenging driving conditions. Patchy winds may also reduce visibility in some areas.
CDOT advises travelers to plan their trips in advance, drive at slower speeds, and avoid peak travel times to ensure safety on the roads.
