Interstate 76 runs 195 miles from I-70 at Arvada, north-west of Denver, to I-80 at Big Springs, Nebraska, of which 187 are in Colorado. It crosses the eastern plains through Fort Morgan, Brush and Sterling — open, flat and exposed, which is why this is the Colorado interstate that closes in a ground blizzard while the mountain corridor stays open. It shares its number with an unconnected Interstate 76 in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which has its own page.

Mile markers count from each state's western line and start again at the next one, which is how most states number their exits as well. They are measured along the same road geometry these pages draw, so they land within a mile or two of the posted markers. A toll road that runs its own continuous numbering is the exception — on the New York Thruway the posts continue from New York City — and there the figure is how far into the state the place is rather than the number on the sign. Distances are measured state by state, never across a gap. Colorado and Nebraska carry too little of the road for a page of their own — under the 25 miles that separate two markers on the map above — so they are named without a link.
No full closures are reported on I-76 as of Sep 20, 2026 6:44 AM MDT, and no lane closures or roadworks either. Always check with the responsible state DOT before setting off.
