Major road closures for the Adelaide 500 will begin on November 8, affecting key routes and significantly increasing travel times in the eastern suburbs of Adelaide, with some roads experiencing delays of up to 15 minutes longer than usual. In Colorado, a winter storm has led to extensive closures along Interstate 70, particularly east of Denver, where over 100 miles are affected, causing hazardous travel conditions and urging drivers to seek alternate routes. The Vail Police Department has introduced a new procedure for closing Vail Pass during winter, now utilizing exit 180 as a detour point to manage increased traffic effectively. Following a recent snowstorm, Vail Pass experienced its first major closure, lasting roughly 10 hours, with a significant number of incidents reported but no major injuries. The Colorado Department of Transportation is enforcing winter driving restrictions, requiring vehicles to carry traction equipment and adhere to new tire tread depth regulations. With anticipated ongoing weather impacts, travelers are advised to check for updates and prepare for potential delays.
