Downtown Denver from I-25, as I go over to I-76 to start heading east

Ideal exhibit of state-name I-76 shields just east of Brush, where 6 splits from 76 after Denver.

Technically, it's Spur US 34 on the east end of Brush

West end of US 138, the nation's longest (by time) orphaned child highway, in Sterling



The 2 miles of I-76 in Nebraska was my last piece for its interstates.

"Last Days of the Buffalo", Julesburg CO



State line on US 138

Northeast corner of Colorado



Looking southwest into Colorado



East end of US 138

A very brief visit to Ash Hollow, revisited seven years later

East end of US 26, Ogallala





Phelps County Courthouse and architecturally similar addition, Holdredge NE



On the Lincoln Highway, Grand Island

NE 2 is technically two segments in the state. This is the east end of the segment that goes west and northwest to South Dakota.

I-80 and US 81 meet in York (south of this photo, on US 34).

Two highways that appear in Iowa intersect in Lincoln with interstates.

At the time, I-80 was being six-laned in Lincoln

Ten (or so) miles from the state line



First reference to Des Moines on eastbound I-80

Original US highway system, sketched out at Western Historic Trails Center, Council Bluffs

Crossing on old US 275 bridge while new one is being constructed
