Drivers advised to avoid travel during construction, at least two-hour delays expected on Monday and Tuesday in BOTH directions. 

The Colorado Department of Transportation plans to get as much paving done as possible before the long-term winter temperatures set in on the Westbound I-70 Mountain Express Lane project.  Paving work can be done only during daytime hours when temperatures are warmer.  Closures will continue through the night to get other work done. 

I-70 will be down to one lane in each direction in Idaho Springs Monday and Tuesday during the day, causing at least two hour delays for east and westbound traffic.  Motorists are advised to avoid traveling during lane closure times.
