The Denver Post reports that Sens. Chris Romer, D-Denver, and Dan Gibbs, D-Silverthorne, intend to introduce legislation that would place movable concrete barriers on westbound Interstate 70 on weekend afternoons, temporarily using the inside lane for a third eastbound lane along one of the roadway’s most snarled segments.

Another bill would restrict trucks to the right lane during congested hours.

They estimate the extra eastbound lane could halve drive times from Georgetown to Idaho Springs.
