The Colorado Department of Transportation has launched a new landing page with information to help drivers plan for trips along the Interstate 70 mountain corridor.
CDOT communications manager Stacia Sellers described driving on the I-70 mountain corridor as “a much different driving experience” than on most other roads, due to the corridor’s high elevation and the potential for extreme weather in the mountains.
That’s why the new landing page, available at CODOT.gov/travel/i70mountain, includes all the information drivers might need to travel along I-70. Sellers suggested that anyone who regularly drives I-70 bookmark the webpage for easy access through the winter.
The landing page includes a link to COTrip.org — Colorado’s official website for real-time road and traffic conditions — with the I-70 mountain corridor preselected and the map automatically showing road conditions, traffic incidents and road work along the route.
The landing page also includes information about Colorado’s chain and traction laws, winter driving safety, travel forecasts, safety metering at the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnels and public transit options that are available to the mountains and in the mountains.
