Interstate 70 (I-70) Weather Road Conditions

I70 weather includes cities on the I70 corridor such as Denver Colorado, Topeka, Kansas City, St. Louis Missouri, Indianapolis Indiana, Columbus Ohio, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, and Baltimore Maryland.  I70 spans east west across the United States with a wide variety of weather conditions along I70.  Parts of I70 in Missouri and Kansas have been claimed as the first sections of the Interstate Highway System to open to traffic, but no matter where you are on Interstate 70, it’s hard to deny the majesty of the drive itself. 

The last piece of the Interstate Highway System was completed in the stretch of I70 that spans Glenwood Canyon. It was finished in 1992 and includes engineering achievements such as the Eisenhower Tunnel and the San Rafael Swell. Did you know that the Eisenhower Tunnel is in excess of 11,000 feet above sea level? 

This iconic interstate is known for many beautiful drives and dangerous, life-threatening weather conditions, but for many, it’s the route they take to cross the Midwest.
