Bob sez:

Noticed the article mentioned exposed wiring. Are the roads heated out there
to keep them clear of snow, or is the wiring they mention really reinforcing
cables?

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Never heard of that portion of I-70 being heated. But the highway is
double decker so they needs lights etc. on the lower deck. There is a
hydro plant that the highway was built over the top of lots of cables
associated with that. And then Glenwood canyon is one of the big
bottlenecks through the rockies, probably a lot of internet and
communication cables there too. The canyon is narrow enough that the
highway structure is probably the place to run all this stuff. It is a
very pretty canyon, there was a big stink on just to widen the
interstate through there without wrecking the scenery.
