Colorado’s MOST Dangerous Highway Is Finally Being Rebuilt!

Colorado’s Most Dangerous Highway Is Finally Being Rebuilt! Every winter weekend in Colorado, Interstate 70 (I-70) seems to break down at the edge of the mountains. Traffic stacks up for miles, accidents ripple through the flow, and a drive measured in minutes quietly turns into hours. The culprit is Floyd Hill—a steep, outdated stretch of highway where modern traffic collides with mid-century design, and one small failure can paralyze the state’s most important road. Now, Colorado is pushing back. Through a massive reconstruction, engineers are carving a new highway into the mountainside in an effort to tame this chokepoint once and for all. Today, let’s delve into Colorado’s $1.2 Billion I-70 Floyd Hill Project. SUBSCRIBE NOW to Breaking Ground for more videos on the largest construction and engineering projects reshaping America.
