Chain checks coming to Golden as winter approaches

An important reminder from the Colorado State Patrol in Golden:

Don't be fooled by the lovely fall weather; winter is coming.

That means commercial vehicle drivers must have tire chains ready to go.

State Patrol says Friday was a good day. They conducted a chain carry compliance operation and 84% of commercial drivers had chains or approved alternative traction devices. 

More chain checks will take place along I-70 on Monday and again on Wednesday, Oct. 26.
