I-25 reopens south of Denver after closure due to semi crash, rollover
A semi rollover in the southbound lanes of Interstate 25 that happened on Monday south of the Denver metro area was causing some big delays for drivers.
The rollover happened between exit 192 RidgeGate Parkway and exit 188 Castle Pines Parkway just before 12:30 p.m.
The crash involved a semi and what appeared to be one other vehicle.
The Colorado Department of Transportation tweeted initially that three right lanes were closed due to the rollover and then revised that tweet that two right lanes were closed.

Those closures were creating a huge traffic backup in the area.
