Colorado Mountain Roads This July 4th | Denver News

Fourth of July traffic in Colorado is going to be brutal—especially on mountain roads. CDOT has paused all construction statewide to ease congestion, but expect packed highways starting as early as Thursday. Over 170,000 cars passed through the Eisenhower-Johnson Tunnel last year; this year, it’s going to be even busier. Get through the I-70 tunnel before 9 AM Friday and return Sunday by 6 PM. Don’t forget wildfire safety: no cigarette tossing, secure trailer chains, and avoid brake overheating on steep descents. Check COtrip before you go—and treat your trip like a ski weekend: leave early, plan ahead, and be ready for delays.
