But be careful, and then if you're headed out of town again, eastbound and westbound I 70 around mile marker 41 to 45 is closed.

Forty one eastbound, 45 westbound.

00:11

Not sure what's going on out there.

No cameras for me to look at, but I-70 is closed east of town, east of Odessa out there.

Next check in, please call in.

00:20

All right, I was able to get a little bit of information.

00:23

Eastbound says closed because of a police emergency.

00:26

Started at 4:15, was estimated to last an hour and a half there.

00:31

So eastbound I-70 is closed at mile marker 41.

00:35

Westbound is closed due to a vehicle collision, and that says it's going to be closed for at least 3 h .

00:40

So I'm guessing something big happened westbound.

Westbound I-70 is closed at Exit 45, Route H.
