Site News and Updates

Site last updated 26 April 2008

CDOT raised the speed limit on I-25 in southeast Denver. It used to be 55 north of Belleview, but is now 65 to Evans and 60 to Logan.
Coors did not renew its sponsorship deal with Fiddler's Green Amplitheater (on I-25 at Orchard Rd), so Coors Amplitheater has reverted back to its original name.

Uploaded a couple sets of new photos: I-25 (Colo Spgs), SH 71 and SH 94. Also several photos at the US 24-285 Buena Vista intersection from Dale Sanderson.
Updated guide section of SH 94, since all I had in there before was a single line. Now that I've been on it I can say a little more, don't you think?

Some miscellaneous updates here and there.
Updated the SH 58 exit list, because sometime recently the new ramp from EB 58 to WB I-70 opened.
Updated the I-70 list with several changes in Mount Vernon Canyon, notably the inclusion of a CR 93 pentagon at the Morrison exit. Probably the first instance ever of a county pentagon appearing on an exit sign in Colorado.

Perusing CDOT's online route log, I've discovered that some time in the last several months, SH 35 was turned back and no longer exists. Updated the listings accordingly.
Updated I-25 and TRANs pages due to the completion of COSMIX in December.
Major oversight: I've never updated the Colorado Tolling Enterprise page to talk about them running the I-25 HOT lanes since 2006.

Step 3 of website clutter-reduction process: Clean up all the milepost guides for all routes by removing all the extra words that need to be there, such as "jct". At the some time I added county lines to the milepost guides. This also allowed me to find some errors, such as not listing Jefferson County for SH 128 or Douglas County for SH 177.
Updated Where I've Been page with a roadtrip I took last weekend along SH 94 and SH 71.

Step 2 of website clutter-reduction process: Fix or remove all broken external links. Numerous links throughout the site had addresses changed so they worked again (such as links to Andy Field's Wyoming pages) and others were removed for sites that didn't exist anymore.
Added cross-border links for US 287 and US 385 to Oklahoma.
Several pages also had broken images, so fixed those. The most egregious example was my map for the Front Range Toll Road on the Other Roads page.

Colorado Highways: As step 1 of a website clutter-reduction process, spun off several of the routes with longer entries to their own pages: SH 14, SH 82, SH 83, US 160 and US 285.

Updated Where I've Been page to correctly show the highway system in Colorado Springs given the recent swaps.
Added note to the chain law section of the Facts page that oversize/overweight trucks can't travel in areas where the chain law is in effect.

These are previous "recent updates" listings. Unfortunately I only got the bright idea to not delete them starting in late 1999.
