Notes

• I-76 was redesignated from I-80S in 1975, in accordance with AASHTO policy to remove the letter suffixes from Interstate Highway System routes. Beyond the fact that the designation I-76 fit in the Interstate “grid”, it may have been chosen to commemorate Colorado's upcoming centennial the 1976.
• I-76 in Nebraska is signed north-south; in Colorado, it is signed east-west.
• The western terminus of I-76 used to be at I-25; the western extension to I-70 was built in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
