Interstate 76 West runs 195 miles from I-70 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 I-76 in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
