Accidents involving more than 50 cars closed all lanes of I-70 in the mountains for much of Monday afternoon.
Westbound lanes of the interstate reopened about 4:45 p.m., with eastbound lanes re-opening about 5:15 p.m., the Colorado Department of Transportation reported.

Lake Dillon Fire Rescue reported one accident involving 25 vehicles and 27 people on I-70 in Silverthorne near the Blue River Parkway exit.
Another pileup, about three miles east, involved 29 vehicles, according to the Colorado State Patrol, but no injuries were reported there."
