Interstate route plan eyed for Salt Lake City to Denver
Utah and Colorado highway officials reached a joint plan to seek designation of a new Interstate connecting Salt Lake City and Denver. The group proposed three steps including cost tabulation for US 40 via Vernal and Steamboat Springs and US 50 via Price and Grand Junction, securing federal aide, and urging a re‑survey of existing routes. Colorado and Utah officials discussed potential mileage reductions and favored U S 40 routing via Vernal. Price route could serve more residents but costlier.
