"A Possible Plan for Burying Interstate-70 at Vail"

The town for Vail feels that it is possible to bury Interstate-70 through Vail. The question now is how they will get the money to fund such a project. Officials believe that a solution could possibly be found within the next 20 years. One option includes lowering the interstate and putting a lid on it is certain locations. Although this may solve the noise problem, I think it would take away from the Vail’s natural beauty.

There are other options including using quiet pavement on the interstate or advising residents to make improvements in their homes to reduce noise. Officials feel there needs to be a serious event to get the ball rolling on the tunnel plans. We may see Colorado bid for the Winter Olympics in the future.
