Multiple crashes and icy conditions closed both directions of Interstate 70 east of Denver Sunday morning but the highway was reopened Sunday afternoon..

Eastbound I-70 reopened from Airpark Road near Watkins to Burlington at 2:15 p.m. after being closed because of icy conditions.

Westbound I-70 opened at about 3:45 p.m.

The interstate had been closed since Saturday, when blowing snow forced CDOT to shut it to traffic.  All motels in Limon were filled because of the closure.
