There are still long delays on the highway west of Denver. Drivers are still urged to use alternate routes.

One lane of eastbound Interstate 70 is open again after the lanes were fully closed earlier Wednesday morning due to a commercial vehicle fire west of Denver.

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) first posted about the fire at about 5:41 a.m. Wednesday.

The Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office said the fire involved a commercial vehicle. Cameras along the interstate showed flames from the fire as Clear Creek Fire Authority worked on the scene.

The sheriff's office said there were no injuries reported.

Drivers can expect delays in the area as crews battle the fire and work to get the truck towed away, according to CDOT.
