@coloradobusinessfinder: IMPORTANT UPDATE! We made a mistake! Mountain Recovery pointed out that this is not the most used runaway truck ramp—the most used is the lower one. Thank you for the clarification! 👉 https://www.instagram.com/mountainrecovery/ We will share more information soon! This runaway truck ramp on I-70 in Colorado, just west of the Eisenhower Tunnel, is the most heavily used in the United States. Located along a steep downhill stretch, it’s designed to safely stop trucks that lose braking power by using deep gravel to slow them down. If you’re driving west on I-70, you’ll pass a few of these ramps—each one playing an important role in keeping this mountain corridor safe. #runawaytruckramp #i70 #colorado #eisenhowertunnel #ramp

“A runaway truck ramp (or escape ramp) is a safety feature on steep, descending mountainous roads designed to stop runaway heavy vehicles that have lost their brakes. These ramps often consist of a long lane filled with deep sand or pea gravel, or an upward-sloped paved path, allowing a truck to safely lose momentum without crashing.”

I had to take that exactly ramp once 😂, broker said it was 25k lb and it was 35k, never took a load with that broker again.

its for trucks that brakes dont work so they run into that hill and sink into the gravel to safely stop
