Certain hazmat truckloads traveling through Colorado soon could be cleared to access the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnels.
Gov. Jared Polis has signed into law a bill to have the Colorado Department of Transportation study whether tanker trucks hauling hazardous materials should be authorized to access the tunnels on Interstate 70 west of Denver.
Affected loads now must use Loveland Pass on U.S. 6 to travel through the area. An exception is made to access the tunnels when the two-lane pass is closed for weather or other reasons. Hazmat loads then are permitted to use the tunnels during certain times.
