Interstate 70 (abbreviated '''I-70''') is a long Interstate Highway in the United States that runs from Interstate 15 about a mile from Cove Fort, Utah , to a Park And Ride in Baltimore, Maryland . It was the first Interstate Highway Project started in the United States. I-70 approximately traces the path of U.S. Route 40 (and also the old National Road ) east of the Rocky Mountains . West of the Rockies, the route of I-70 was cobbled together from a variety of sources. The construction of I-70 in Colorado and Utah is considered an engineering marvel where the route passes through the Eisenhower Tunnel , Glenwood Canyon , and the San Rafael Swell . The Eisenhower Tunnel is the highest point along the Interstate Highway System with an elevation of 11,158 feet (3,401 m). ROUTE DESCRIPTION
