If you have ever been to Vail, Colorado, you know that the I-70 runs right through it.<\/strong> This busy, especially loud highway runs directly through the middle of Vail, serving as both a divider and a constant noise polluter for the people and guests who visit. Although it serves as an easy connection to the town and the resort that sits before it, many plans have been schemed up over the years to divert the I-70 around Vail, or in this case, under it \u2014 and the most ambitious Vail I-70 tunnel proposal would have cost up to $6 billion.<\/p>\n
