The Roberts Tunnel, one of the largest and longest water tunnels in the world, begins under the Dillon Reservoir, and flows for 23 miles, across the Continental Divide, to its eastern portal by gravity. At its east portal, 175 feet lower in elevation than its west portal, it emerges from underground just below the grade of the adjacent highway, with a small control building on top of it.

Completed in 1963, Dillon Reservoir has an earth-fill dam, 5,888 feet long by 231 feet above the Blue River streambed. The entire town of Dillon and a hydroelectric plant were relocated to build the dam, which diverts water from the Blue River Basin through the Harold D. Roberts Tunnel under the Continental Divide into the South Platte River Basin. Eisenhower Tunnel | Colorado travel, Colorado vacation, Colorado
