The Reverse Curve Tunnel is a single bore highway tunnel carrying the westbound lanes of Interstate 70 and US 6 through the north wall of Glenwood Canyon, at apporoximately reference post (mile marker) #125 in Garfield County, Colorado, USA. The tunnel gets its name from the reverse curve that preceeds it on the French Creek Viaduct.
