Idaho Springs Colorado United StatesVeterans Memorial Tunnels (I-70) The Veterans Memorial Tunnels are a pair of tunnels located on Interstate 70 near Idaho Springs, Colorado, about 30 miles west of Denver in Clear Creek County. They are a critical choke point on the I-70 mountain corridor, leading to the state's popular ski resorts and the Continental Divide. The tunnels were originally constructed in the early 1960s as part of the expansion of US Highway 6 and US Highway 40, which later became I-70. Widening Project (2013-2014): Due to chronic traffic congestion and bottlenecks, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) undertook a massive project to widen the tunnels. The eastbound bore was completed and widened in 2013 to accommodate a third express lane. The westbound bore was completed in 2014, widened to accommodate a future third lane. The construction involved controlled blasting to open up the tunnels while preserving the rock above. Official Renaming (2015): The tunnels were officially renamed the Veterans Memorial Tunnels on September 11, 2015, following a bill passed by the Colorado State Legislature in April 2015. The renaming was done to recognize and remember the nation's military veterans and their service. The September 11th date was chosen to honor those who have served and sacrificed. Today, the Veterans Memorial Tunnels are a vital component of the I-70 corridor, showcasing modern engineering while serving as a poignant tribute. Traffic Flow: The widening significantly improved traffic flow and safety by eliminating the narrow bottleneck that often caused severe delays, especially during peak ski season or holiday travel times. Memorial: The name ensures that the thousands of travelers passing through the area daily are reminded of the service and sacrifice of military veterans. Engineering Marvel: The tunnels are an example of complex modern highway engineering, carving a multi-lane path through the rugged Rocky Mountain terrain.
