However, there are a few exceptions... that is, a few places where US routes are still signposted along interstates. For example, US 160 is well-signed along I-25 between Trinidad and Walsenburg. Both US 50 and even Business 50 are signed where they overlap I-25 in Pueblo. US 24 is signed along the short segment it shares with I-25 in Colorado Springs: Also, in Denver, the segment of I-70 between I-25 and Vasquez Boulevard was triple-signed with US 6 and US 85 shields. (Which was kind of a cruel joke, because there were no signs instructing drivers following those routes to get on I-70 in the first place!) Since that portion of I-70 was torn down in 2021, I documented the condition of the signs before they were removed. (I would be very surprised if US 6 and US 85 were still co-signed along the new I-70 after it is rebuilt.) Heading westbound on I-70, the first such sign assembly was shown in this photo:

Traveling 6 or 85 through Colorado is frustrating. We are from Utah, and every time we try to follow US 6 across Colorado heading east or 85 south, we always lose it somewhere. Any resources to help find out current or historical through alignments since little signage exists to tell you where to get off the interstates to continue after a concurrency?

For travelers like you who want to drive the US routes through Colorado, CDOT's signage policy basically says "You're on your own, because we're not helping you with signage". I agree, it's frustrating.
