Interstate Route 80, also called I-80, is one of the most important highways in the United States.

It runs across the country from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, stretching for almost 2,900 miles from San Francisco, California, all the way to Teaneck, New Jersey, near New York City. This makes it the second-longest interstate highway in the U.S., connecting millions of people and serving as a major route for trade and travel.

One of the most famous parts of this road is the section in Wyoming, known as the “Highway to Heaven.”

This stretch lies between the cities of Laramie and Cheyenne, passing through a mountain pass in the Laramie Mountains called the Summit. At an elevation of about 8,640 feet above sea level, it is the highest point along the entire I-80 route. The road here is surrounded by breathtaking scenery, often giving drivers the feeling that the highway leads straight into the sky.

I-80 is more than just a road. Its route follows parts of the historic Lincoln Highway, the very first transcontinental highway in the U.S. It also crosses paths with the legendary Oregon Trail and the Mormon Trail, routes once traveled by pioneers heading west. This gives I-80 both historical and cultural significance, linking the modern nation with its past journeys of exploration and settlement.

Today, I-80 is vital for the American economy. It connects 11 states and allows for the quick and efficient movement of goods across the country. Trucks, travelers, and tourists all rely on it daily, making it one of the busiest and most important lifelines of transportation in the United States. It is not just a highway—it is a symbol of connection, progress, and history.
