About: Interstate 70 in Utah

An Entity of Type: infrastructure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Interstate 70 (I-70) is a mainline route of the Interstate Highway System in the United States connecting Utah and Maryland. The Utah section runs east–west for approximately 232 miles (373 km) across the central part of the state. Richfield is the largest Utah city served by the freeway, which does not serve or connect any urban areas in the state. The freeway was built as part of a system of highways connecting Los Angeles and the Northeastern United States. I-70 was the second attempt to connect southern California to the east coast of the United States via central Utah, the first being a failed attempt to construct a transcontinental railroad. Parts of that effort were reused in the laying out of the route of I-70.

  • Interstate 70 (I-70) is a mainline route of the Interstate Highway System in the United States connecting Utah and Maryland. The Utah section runs east–west for approximately 232 miles (373 km) across the central part of the state. Richfield is the largest Utah city served by the freeway, which does not serve or connect any urban areas in the state. The freeway was built as part of a system of highways connecting Los Angeles and the Northeastern United States. I-70 was the second attempt to connect southern California to the east coast of the United States via central Utah, the first being a failed attempt to construct a transcontinental railroad. Parts of that effort were reused in the laying out of the route of I-70. Unlike most Interstate Highways, much of I-70 in Utah was not constructed parallel to or on top of an existing U.S. Route. Portions of I-70 were constructed in areas where previously there were no paved roads. Because it was built over an entirely new route, I-70 has many features that are unique in the Interstate Highway System. For example, the 110 miles (180 km) between Green River and Salina makes up the longest distance anywhere in the Interstate Highway System with no motorist services. This same piece is noted as the longest highway in the United States built over a completely new route since the Alaska Highway, and the longest piece of Interstate Highway to open at a given time. The construction of the Utah portion of I-70 is listed as one of the engineering marvels of the Interstate Highway System. The choice of the route had a significant impact on the character and culture of the Sevier Valley. It has also been a motivating factor for environmentalists to create a new national park along the path of the highway to protect scenic areas around the route. I-70 from Green River to Grand Junction, Colorado, is part of the Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway, making I-70 one of the few Interstate Highways to be named a National Scenic Byway. Attractions listed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for the Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway on or near I-70 include, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry, Goblin Valley State Park, Ruby Canyon, and Westwater Canyon. The designation lists several side roads branching from I-70 that lead to dinosaur bones or footprints. (en)
  • La route Interstate 70 (I-70) dans l'État américain de l'Utah, traverse d'est en ouest, sur 373,61 km, la partie centrale de l'État. L'Interstate 70 relie sur 3 465 km d'ouest en est dans l'Utah au parc relais de Baltimore dans le Maryland. Dans l'Utah, Richfield est la plus grande ville desservie par la route, qui ne dessert pas ou ne relie pas de zones urbaines dans tout l'état. La route a été construite pour relier Los Angeles au nord-est des États-Unis. L'I-70 a été la deuxième tentative de relier le sud de la Californie à la côte est des États-Unis via le centre de l'Utah, après une tentative échouée de construction d'une ligne de chemin de fer transcontinental dont le tracé a partiellement servi de guide à la route I-70. Contrairement à la plupart des autres routes entre États américains, l'I-70 dans l'Utah n'a pas été construite parallèlement ou en supplément d'une grande route déjà existante des États-Unis. Les portions de l'I-70 ont été construites dans des zones où auparavant il n'y avait pas de routes asphaltées. Parce qu'il s'agit d'un tout nouveau axe routier, l'I-70 offre de nombreuses fonctions qui sont uniques dans le système de l'Interstate Highway. Par exemple, les 177 km entre Green River et Salina sont le plus long tronçon routier du système de l'Interstate Highway sans station-service. Il faut noter que ce même tronçon est la plus long nouveau tronçon de route construit aux États-Unis depuis la route de l'Alaska et le plus long tronçon de route Interstate à ouvrir en une fois. La construction de la portion de l'Utah I-70 est répertorié comme l'une des merveilles de l'ingénierie de l'Interstate Highway. Le choix de la route a un impact significatif sur la nature et la culture de la vallée Sevier. Il a également motivé les écologistes à créer un nouveau parc national le long de la route pour protéger les sites panoramiques situés le long de la route. L'I-70 de Green River à Grand Junction, au Colorado, fait partie de la , faisant de l'I-70 l'une des rares routes Interstate à faire partie du National Scenic Byway. Les attractions énumérées par l’Administration Fédérale des Autoroutes (Federal Highway Administration) pour cette portion de route comprennent: le parc national des Arches, le parc national des Canyonlands, la , le parc d'État de Goblin Valley et le . Plusieurs routes secondaires partant de I-70 conduisent à des sites ou à des traces de pas de dinosaures. (fr)
