“>I-70 in Eagle County [Colorado] was closed over 43 times last winter” due to snowy conditions, according to a report from the Vail Daily published Friday. The Colorado DOT, accordingly, has finished the first phase of a series of new parking facilities along the corridor that, including the basic facilities, come with “>gift bags” for stranded truckers. “If truckers are forced to wait more then five hours to resume driving,” the report notes, “care packages containing beef jerky, Oreos, trail mix, Vitamin Water and other snacks will be handed out by local emergency responders.”
