VAIL, Colo.- Traffic congestion on Interstate 70 between Silverthorne and the Eisenhower/Johnson tunnels may soon be alleviated.

According to the Vail Daily, the Colorado Department of Transportation has a new plan to smooth traffic near the tunnel, where Eastbound traffic is funneled from three lanes to just two.

CDOT is working on a system that will move traffic into four lanes on congested days. Those lanes will use the highway's existing shoulders, so no widening work will be needed.
