Take I80 or I70 from Kansas City to Wyoming

Recommended Posts

We are traveling from St. Louis to California.  GPS says i hour difference whether we take I80 or I70 from Kansas City to Wyoming.  Has anyone traveled this recently?  Just wondering which route is smoother road.  Some of the interstates we've traveled are not good.

if you are talking about just road conditions (potholes, ruts, damaged expansion joints, etc), i'd suggest taking the I-80 route.  I-70 isn't b⁹ad all the way through Kansas, but once you get to Colorado, its got some areas of road damage that make it rough for about 60 miles. Thats embarrassing, since Im from Colorado.

Unfortunately, if you skip I-70, You will miss some of the most beautiful country you will ever see through the Colorado mountains.  Its really worth it if you dont mind some of the bad roads on the eastern plains.

There are no roads in the US that don't have construction or areas that are rougher than other areas. You will also find areas with more traffic than others.
