Garfield County Emergency Communications Authority
9.27.25, 12:40 am – I-70 is open at mile marker 130 westbound, Dotsero.
Colorado Department of Transportation
9.26.25, 9:03 pm – Westbound I-70 is closed to through traffic at Wolcott, Exit 157, due to a rolled over CMV crash that took place in Glenwood Canyon at around 6 p.m. this evening. CDOT and its partners worked tirelessly to avoid putting a detour in place — estimated to add four hours of travel time — but unfortunately, I-70 through Glenwood Canyon is an extremely challenging section of road with limited space for operations. There is no estimated time of re-opening.
The detour that is in place directs commuters onto US 6 via exit 157, Wolcott, north on HWY 131 toward Steamboat, west on US 40 towards Craig, south on HWY 13, and back on I-70 near Rifle.

Derby Fire: BLM Colorado reopens more public land in Garfield and Eagle counties
Bureau of Land Management Colorado, Upper Colorado River District, Grand Junction Field Office
The Bureau of Land Management has reopened more public lands in Garfield and Eagle counties that were previously closed due to the Derby Fire. The updated closure order takes effect immediately.
Some areas inside the burned perimeter remain closed because they’re not safe. There are hazards like burned trees and ongoing work to repair damage from fighting the fire. See below and attached map for details. The closure order and map are also available on the BLM website.
This closure affects: BLM lands north and west of the town of Gypsum, Colorado, that are north of Sweetwater Road; west of the Colorado River; east of the White River National Forest boundary; and south of Derby Creek.
BLM issued the emergency closure Aug. 20 to ensure public and firefighter safety during fire suppression efforts and to reduce exposure to hazardous situations because of fire behavior of the Derby Fire.
This order will remain in effect until fire BLM rescinds the order. The public is to remain clear of the areas still closed. Please use caution and watch for firefighters when traveling in the area. Violations of this emergency order may lead to prosecution, with fines and possible imprisonment.
Thank you for your understanding as we focus on public safety and protecting natural resources.
For questions about the land closure, call the Colorado River Valley Field Office at 970-876-9000. For updates on the Derby Fire, visit the U.S. Forest Service White River National Forest page on Facebook.
Derby Fire: Closures remain in place
Type 3 Incident Management Team
Patrick Kieran, Incident Commander
The Derby fire is now 70% contained, but despite the fire activity lessening, it is still important to remember that this is an active fire. There is still a significant amount of firefighter traffic and work occurring, and the closures remain in place for the safety of both firefighters and the public.
