Interstate 70 in Utah - Knowledge (XXG)

732: 1217:. Previously, these were isolated farming communities, whose residents felt they were unaccustomed to the crime and other effects that a transcontinental highway can bring. Residents of Richfield soon started to call I-70 "Cocaine Lane". The mayor stated that I-70 is a mixed blessing. He stated the highway is a boon to the hospitality industry and has made Richfield more accessible to other cities. However, the new road brought types of crime previously unknown to the city. The mayor lamented that after the completion of I-70, many residents started locking their doors for the first time. The interview resulted from an event that served as a "wake-up call", that rural Utah is "not isolated from crime". Panic ensued after the public witnessed 997: 655: 1175: 1199:

for the San Rafael Swell portion was $ 388 million (equivalent to $ 800 million in 2023); $ 105.5 million in 1970 (equivalent to $ 639 million in 2023) to build the first two lanes and $ 78 million in 1990 (equivalent to $ 161 million in 2023) to construct the rest. At the 1970 dedication, it was noted the cost of land acquisition helped to offset the cost of the massive excavation. UDOT acquired the right of way to build the majority of I-70 from the BLM at the lowest cost per mile of any highway in Utah.

The planners opposed the extension to Salt Lake but felt the modified proposal would benefit the US Army by providing a better connection to southern California. The new route would shorten the distance between Los Angeles and Denver by about 200 miles (320 km). The route to Cove Fort was approved on October 18, 1957. A general announcement was made, with no prior notice given to Utah officials of the modification. The commissioner of the 46: 2259: 2206: 1765: 1676: 1670: 1632: 1626: 2548: 2670: 2656: 2438: 2329: 2160: 1906: 1893: 1771: 1550: 1505: 2574: 2561: 2265: 2212: 2147: 2109: 1784: 765:. The summit is named for unusual rock formations nearby. The Ghost Rocks themselves are at 7,405 feet (2,257 m), although the freeway is slightly lower. I-70 meanders through a relatively flat portion of the swell until reaching Spotted Wolf Canyon, which provides the exit route to the swell.

I-70 initially begins an ascent up the Wasatch Plateau via Salina Canyon. At lower elevations, this canyon separates the Wasatch Plateau to the north with the Sevier Plateau to the south. After climbing to a fork in the canyon, the freeway turns south and crests the Wasatch Plateau at Emigrant Pass.

The Utah portion of I-70 was not completed to Interstate Highway standards until October 1990, when the second Eagle Canyon bridge was dedicated. The new bridge carried westbound traffic while the 1970 bridge switched to eastbound only traffic. A second dedication ceremony was held at new bridge to

A state historian stated the news hit Utah "like a bombshell". Except for the officials in Utah that represented the area, most opposed a freeway that would serve no populated areas in the state. The route was mocked as a public relations blunder and a "road to nowhere". Utah officials attempted to

Before the construction of I-70, the San Rafael Swell was relatively inaccessible and not well known or explored. There were, however, a few efforts to protect the swell as early as 1935. Since the construction of the freeway, the number of visitors to the swell has increased significantly, as the

With the plans for I-70 extended, a transcontinental route would again be attempted across the San Rafael Swell. The area west of Green River was so remote that survey crews followed wild horses with jeeps to survey parts of the route. According to a story told at the highway's dedication by an

Due to disagreements in management and poor communication, construction began on both routes. It was soon obvious that the southern route was unfeasible given the remote area, technology available at the time, and the rough terrain of the San Rafael Swell. In 1883, the D&RG spent $ 217,470

The construction of the freeway through the swell is listed as one of the engineering marvels of the Interstate Highway System, with one engineer claiming this section as "one of the most significant highway construction feats of its time".

The second proposal was a "southern route" that would continue due west from Green River and head toward Los Angeles, similar to the route of modern I-70. This proposal would require extending the railroad farther west, to connect with what would become the

In the same act, Congress directed the BLM to create a San Rafael Swell Recreational Area. 1075:. Officials from Colorado pressured the federal government to extend the plans for I-70 further west. After several discussions with Utah officials, Utah supported an extension that would follow US-6/US-50 (now US-6), to connect with I-15 at 1154:

I-70 was dedicated on December 5, 1970, at the Ghost Rocks view area inside the swell, even though it would take another 20 years to fully complete the freeway. At the ceremony, the mayors of cities recently made neighbors, including

Because it was built over an entirely new route, I-70 has many features that are unique in the 691:(UDOT) maps list the elevation of 7,886 feet (2,404 m), while older maps give the figure 7,923 feet (2,415 m).
