Was the really long I-76 Colorado business loop retired?

<< < (2/3) > >>

corco:
Nope- hasn't been since 2007- but the loop is still signed everywhere except from Sterling to Atwood

huskeroadgeek:
That's really strange. I know there's been discussion about whether business loops are useful anymore, but the Sterling portion was one I thought really did have some use to it since there are few services available at the exit. It certainly seems a lot more useful than a Business Spur through a couple of tiny towns with few or no services at all.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I wasn't too sure where else to post it. The other I-76 business spur, at Keenesburg (SH 076B), is not only not signed, it was turned over to Keenesburg, per CDOT OTIS system. In fact, if you look on Google Street View at the route in Keenesburg, it shows improvements that were made in the last few years, presumably by the Town of Keenesburg.

What's interesting here is that Colorado has all of their route viewing online. https://dtdapps.coloradodot.info/otis/HighwayData

It shows how they legislatively view routes. For example, US 6 is off I-70 for much of western CO despite what Google thinks. And it has this entire business loop catalogued as US 34, 34 Spur, and 6, as you would think. So at the very least, we know this route exists in some form, and I'll be on it next week to see how many Bus 76 signs are left... thanks for resurrecting this thread BTW!

CDOT's OTIS is quite the handy resource, especially for traffic data. And it's still quite amazing how many I-70 business spurs still remain.
