Driving I-70 From Grand Junction to Denver

It's one of the prettiest drives you can take, although you may notice an impending sense of dread as your car drives over the moon craters in the pavement. I'd rather have I-70 than go around the long way, but how much longer can the road deteriorate before we run into even more issues?

What Are Grand Junction's Top Suggestions About Improving I-70?

The majority of suggestions have to do with improving the surface of the roads themselves. Another suggestion was about rest areas and why they all seem to be closed. Plenty of drivers say they also notice road work zones with equipment but no workers present. What is being done there?
