Colorado State Patrol took to Twitter at around 2:30 PM on Friday afternoon to inform the public of a major road closure that's underway.
Interstate 70 has been closed in both directions at Georgetown due to a semi-truck being fully engulfed in flames. Long delays are expected until the fire is out. It is unclear what started the fire.
