'''U.S. Highway&nbsp;6''' ('''US&nbsp;6''') is a part of the [[United States Numbered Highway System]] that travels from [[Bishop, California]], to [[Provincetown, Massachusetts]]. In the [[U.S. state]] of [[Colorado]], US 6 is an east–west highway stretching from [[Utah]] to [[Nebraska]]. Much of the route [[Concurrency (road)|overlaps]] other highways in Colorado, and, as a result, much of US&nbsp;6 is unsigned.

'''U.S. Route&nbsp;6''' ('''US&nbsp;6''') is a part of the [[U.S. Highway System]] that travels from [[Bishop, California]], to [[Provincetown, Massachusetts]]. In the [[U.S. state]] of [[Colorado]], US 6 is an east&ndash;west highway stretching from [[Utah]] to [[Nebraska]]. Much of the route [[overlap (road)|overlap]]s other highways in Colorado, and as a result, much of US 6 is unsigned.

[[Image:6thAvenueFreeway.JPG|thumb|left|The 6th Avenue Freeway in Denver, looking east from Knox Court]]
US&nbsp;6 is concurrent with [[Interstate 70 in Colorado|Interstate&nbsp;70]] (I-70) for a significant portion of its length from the Utah state line to [[Denver]]. When the highway enters the western Denver suburbs, US&nbsp;6 coincidentally aligns with 6th Avenue in the grid system, where it is known as '''6th Avenue Freeway'''. Once it reaches [[Interstate 25 in Colorado|I-25]], US&nbsp;6 travels north briefly, then follows [[Interstate 76 in Colorado|I-76]] for most of its length east of Denver. It is unsigned while it is overlapped.[[File:6408-LovelandPassCOLO.jpg|thumb|left|Loveland Pass in 1964]] The highest altitude along US&nbsp;6 is {{convert|11990|ft|m}} at [[Loveland Pass]], where it crosses the [[Continental Divide]]. It continues down the [[Clear Creek (Colorado)|Clear Creek]] valley until it reaches I-70, where it is briefly overlapped until I-70 leaves the Clear Creek valley. US&nbsp;6 continues down Clear Creek and into Denver, where it turns into a freeway with six lanes. East of Denver, it continues east while joined with I-76 until it reaches [[Sterling, Colorado|Sterling]], where it diverges from the Interstate. The last town in Colorado through which it passes is [[Holyoke, Colorado|Holyoke]].

U.S. Highway 6 (US 6) is a part of the United States Numbered Highway System that travels from Bishop, California, to Provincetown, Massachusetts. In the U.S. state of Colorado, US 6 is an east–west highway stretching from Utah to Nebraska. Much of the route overlaps other highways in Colorado, and, as a result, much of US 6 is unsigned.

Route description[edit]

The 6th Avenue Freeway in Denver, looking east from Knox Court

US 6 is concurrent with Interstate 70 (I-70) for a significant portion of its length from the Utah state line to Denver. When the highway enters the western Denver suburbs, US 6 coincidentally aligns with 6th Avenue in the grid system, where it is known as 6th Avenue Freeway. Once it reaches I-25, US 6 travels north briefly, then follows I-76 for most of its length east of Denver. It is unsigned while it is overlapped.

Loveland Pass in 1964

The highest altitude along US 6 is 11,990 feet (3,650 m) at Loveland Pass, where it crosses the Continental Divide. It continues down the Clear Creek valley until it reaches I-70, where it is briefly overlapped until I-70 leaves the Clear Creek valley. US 6 continues down Clear Creek and into Denver, where it turns into a freeway with six lanes. East of Denver, it continues east while joined with I-76 until it reaches Sterling, where it diverges from the Interstate. The last town in Colorado through which it passes is Holyoke.
