After forcing the closure of a lane and slowing eastbound I-70 traffic near Idaho Springs, a hole — caused by a mine shaft beneath the road — was patched up Friday morning.
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, the mine hole, which was just east of the Twin Tunnels, formed on Thursday around 1 p.m. Crews worked on it until 8 a.m. the next day, when they reopened the lane.
