The Colorado State Highway System is a network of highways and roads that facilitate transportation across the state of Colorado. Managed by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), it includes over 23,000 miles of roads, connecting urban areas, rural communities, and scenic destinations. The system is vital for commerce, tourism, and daily commuting. Highways in this system are categorized into different classes, including Interstate highways, U.S. highways, and state highways. Each class serves specific purposes, with Interstate highways designed for long-distance travel and state highways providing access to local areas. This comprehensive network supports the state's economy and enhances mobility for residents and visitors alike.
