CDOT Traffic Alert

Typically, CDOT expects Saturday traffic to taper off by 10 a.m. but today, westbound traffic was still heavy in the afternoon.

Eastbound traffic volume is expected to be high from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. both Sunday and Monday. During these times, it drivers should anticipate that there will be periodic traffic stoppages at the west portal to the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnels to prevent idling traffic from backing up into the tunnel.

CDOT advises motorists to be prepared for heavy congestion, take U.S. 285 or another alternate route or travel in the early morning or late evening hours.
