HERE COMES THE SUN: I-70 EAST TO SEE MORNING TRAFFIC SHIFTS AT FLOYD HILL

The sun rises in the east. Due to sun glare, eastbound I-70 traffic flow at Floyd Hill will be altered for about an hour during morning rush hour to protect construction crews. Lane shifts "are necessary safety closures due to the sun’s position that blinds drivers as they approach the crest of Floyd Hill at this time of day," the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office said. There was a test run Friday at I-70 Mile Marker 244. Traffic shifts will continue through February for about an hour between 6:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., the sheriff's office advises.
