Description
I-70 in Utah was originally built in the 1960s as a "two-lane Interstate", crossing this bridge in both directions. US-50 was subsequently rerouted from US-6 onto I-70. In 1990, I-70/US-50 in Utah was widened to four lanes, which is why the westbound bridge is more recent than this eastbound bridge.
