Colorado Mountain Pass & I-70 Chain Law Compliance Guide

Detailing Eisenhauer Tunnel chain-up areas, traction laws (Code 15/16), and steep grade jake-brake restrictions

Eisenhower Tunnel Chain-Up

I-70 eastbound chain stations at Silverthorne and Georgetown feed Code 15/16 traction law alerts on the dispatch grid before drivers enter the tunnel.

Pass Traction Codes

Code 15 requires adequate tread; Code 16 mandates chains or AutoSock on specified axle groups. EXSPEEDITE logs driver acknowledgments on the load.

Steep Grade Jake Brake Rules

Mountain corridor municipalities restrict engine brake noise; route cards show municipal ordinances and recommended descent speeds.

Winter Fuel & Idle Planning

Dispatch adds mountain fuel buffers and anti-gel notes on winter loads crossing Vail Pass and Loveland Pass routes.
