Abbreviated history of a stretch of I-70

As first proposed in 1956, the western terminus of I-70 was Denver. Colorado officials got the feds to extend the highway west to connect with Salt Lake City. The feds okayed that then showed a modified plan to the Army, which decided to build another highway from Los Angeles to Denver that cut 200 miles off the trip. In 1957, the route to Fort Cove was announced with no prior notice to any Utah official.

We guess it's logical that if Republicators didn't screw other Republicators, there wouldn't be any more of 'em.
