I-70 upgrades will ease trip from Copper Mountain to Denver
The trip from Copper Mountain along I-70 back to Denver is about to get just a bit quicker, and a lot safer. Colorado Department of Transportation officials say the new three-lane section of freeway at the Twin Tunnels area, near Idaho Springs, is set to open within the next few weeks. Along with a new lane through the tunnel, the project also included improvements to the highway between the Hidden Valley exit and the bottom of Floyd Hill, a particularly curvy section of the road where mountain travelers often encountered a bottleneck after a day on the slopes.
