"I-70 flies onto twin viaducts and goes directly over the Shoshone Power Plant. The plant has an interchange on I-70 (Exit 123), but is only a partial interchange. Ramps exist for getting from eastbound I-70 to the plant and from the plant to westbound I-70 only. The road that the ramps feed onto underneath I-70 includes parking for a raft launch that is on the north bank of the river just downstream of the outlet of the power plant. Since there is a dam two miles upstream and the Colorado River can be dry upstream of the power plant, this is the furthest east a raft launch can be and rafters still be able to float all the way to Glenwood Springs."

The ramp area has a few parking spots and two sealed-vault outhouses for use by visitors. There is an emergency call box n case of accident. Signage implores users to be quick and courteous to one another!
