U.S. Route 6, SH-139 to I-70

 

AMP: 15

Location: US 6 and SH-139, Loma, Mesa Cty

Reassurance shield after SH-139, omitting US 50, as we head out of Loma.

Location: US 6 and O Rd, Mesa Cty

A few miles later, US 6/50 will turn left to connect to I-70.

AMP: 12

Location: US 6 and O Rd, Mesa Cty

You could follow old US 6/50 if you really wanted to, but it gets to be a pretty dicey road. Best to just follow the current alignment of 6/50 to I-70 west.

AMP: 11

Location: US 6 and M 8/10 Rd, Mack, Mesa Cty

Just past where we’d turn left, there’s an “END US 6” sign and a “No Access to I-70” sign. Neither sign is accurate – you actually can access I-70 via old US 6, but it’s a bad idea. US 6 definitely does not end here though, it turns left to head down to I-70 on its trek to Bishop, Calif. US 50 will follow it down to I-70.

AMP: 11

Location: US 6 and Hotel Cir, Mack, Mesa Cty

No reassurance shield after the turn. Mack ostensibly had hotels at some point in the past.

Location: US 6 and I-70, Mesa Cty

Just ahead, we’ll approach Interstate 70.

AMP: 11

Location: US 6 and I-70, Mesa Cty

Turn right for I-70 and US 6/50 west, though 6/50 aren’t signed. US 6 stays with I-70 to just past Green River, Utah, while US 50 will stay with I-70 all the way to Salina, Utah.

I-70 east heads back to Grand Junction.
