The first section of I-70 in Kansas opened west of Topeka Nov. 14, 1956. The highway didn't reach Goodland until June 1970. At the time, the 424-mile stretch of I-70 in Kansas was the longest continuous segment of Interstate highway to be
completed by any state.
![]() Interstate 70 mainly follows U.S. Highway 40 from Baltimore, Md., to Cove Fort, Utah, but it leaves Highway 40 and joins Highway 24's route from Colby to Limon, Colo. Had I-70 stayed with Highway 40, Sharon Springs would be on the Interstate, not Goodland. In consequence, Kansas Department of Transportation 2014 traffic counts showed 8,220 vehicles passing Goodland per day compared to 815 at Sharon Springs.
