Then the original I-70 could be torn down. This also has the advantage of avoiding construction related closures until the very day the new route opens.

That would involve adding several miles (I'm guessing here maybe 10 or so more miles? ) onto a heavily traveled route. I would think that a cost/benefit type of study would need to be done to consider all of the extra fuel spent on the longer route to having a shorter route that's basically a buried freeway in some parts. And just from that, maybe keeping the shorter route would make better economics?
