The main fact being that the river had supposed overtaken the west bound lower level interstate and bike path. Thus resulting in long delays and possible closures. People were exploring options to make long detours and avoid this area to get to convention.
Is any of that valid?
I drove I-70 west through CO in mid-June and didnt encounter the above. The bike path was in fact flooded. And the westbound lanes were closed for construction, resulting in two way traffic in the eastbound lanes, but it caused no major delays and the westbound lanes were not underwater.

Is the bike path useable or not? That is something we really wanted to do!!

The entire eastbound section of highway has been shutdown due to planned construction which was still going on as of a week ago. It is not because the river has flooded over the highway, which would be remarkable. The construction has been going on for at least a couple months. The westbound lanes have been divided and now have traffic in both directions.
However, most people shouldn't see any major slow downs. It isn't a long section of highway and every time I have driven it the disturbance has been minimal. There are a few detours needed for some of the exits in the canyon, but not to get to Glenwood Springs.
The bike path through Glenwood Canyon might be closed. As of a week ago it was flooded over, being much closer to the river.
I will be driving that stretch of I-70 this weekend and will update with any relevant info.
