There will be delays on Hwy 40 between Hayden and Steamboat Springs for most of the day today. CDOT crews are removing the wreckage of that semi-truck that went over the edge of the highway at Mount Harris Canyon last month. This is about eight miles east of Hayden. Delays will be between 20 and 30 minutes. One lane will be closed for most of the day and then both lanes will be closed when they get the truck back up on the road. The recovery should last six to seven hours, after starting around 9 a.m.
