here is 9news anchor gary shapiro. >> reporter: this drive has for some become routine. a way to get from here to there, for work, skiing, and vacation. so much quicker than the old way up and over the continental divide on loveland pass. nearly 12,000 feet. now, you just head west through the eisenhower tunnel or east through the johnson. along with an average 50,000 other cars a each year. but, these tunnels are anything but routine. especially when you take in their sights, and their sounds. loud sounds. >> it is all hard solid material. those walls are concrete. it just echoes and continues on down. >> reporter: you really don't know how loud it is driving through it. but, the noise goes back to when the tunnels were built.

putting in concrete and steel. and it didn't all go as planned. for instance, a giant drilling machine called a drill jumbo got stuck when some rocks fell around it. this model of the tunnel, you can see where it happened right in the middle where the plastic represents rock shells. >> it got all the way in there. and it started taking weight. the mountain pushed down on it and trapped it in ple. couldn't go forward. >> reporter: so after a year, they decided to cut out the interior of the machine. it is now a permanent part of the tunnel. >> this was cutting edgeing thenology. >> these days the channels are a mix of old school and new equipment. this vintage backup generator has been around a little longer than supervisor tom hurst.

there, it is loud ... >> i can't hear a thing. >> reporter: new equipment includes giant fans, 28 of them. to blow the pollution out of the tunnels. the air moves through ducts that are windy, cold, and loud. >> this is only on low. if you can imagine, hurricane force winds in this air duct, it will blow you right down the air duct. >> reporter: the air ducts also house the new state of the art fire suppression system. pipes that of water. sensors below in the tunnels that will set it off if there is a fire. it will look like this video of a test of the system. the water should hold the fire until the fire truck gets there. >> you can commence the attack. >> reporter: yes, a fire truck from the small fire station that is housed inside thizer hour tunnel. two trucks and a giant tow

>> watching that all the time. >> reporter: in the control room, those workers watch for fires. traffic jams, stalled cars, flat tires and the like. the workers call it tunnel vision. and watching 140 cameras can be a challenge. >> sometimes it gets a little boring. [ laughter ] >> i wish we could get espn once in a while. >> reporter: the iconic tunnels carry both cars and important stories in colorado history. one of the most surprising may be the story janet monama. she was hired by someone who thought her name was james. when the workers in the tunnel found out she was a she, they threatened to walk off the job. they considered underground women bad luck. >> it was going to affect the timing. things were going to fall on them. it was just bad luck. >> reporter: janet settled and started working alongside the men. nothing horrible happened.

of women's rights in colorado. the tunnels are literally cemented into the fabric of colorado and the nation. its history, it's commerce. a 1.7-mile very loud reminder of how far we have come. >> so cool to see. gary's exploration of what is under colorado continues in a 9news special airing tonight at 6:30 right re

>> here is rod mackey. >> the buffs are going bowling for the first time since way back in 2007. cu will play in the post season. colorado beating stanford today for their sixth win of the year. officially making them bowl eligible. cu is due. they were overdue to beat

past several games but this game was different. former high school star christian mcaffrey returned from injury for this one, but didn't look himself. cu struck first in the first. sefo liufau to shaye fields for the only sud. colorado dominated but the scoreboard certainly didn't show it. special teams terrible once again. the buffs couldn't make a field goal. theyse afternoon. even allowed the punt tore try one and he missed it. but, the cu defense was as good as the ticking game was bad. the buffs forced four turnovers. thompson, two picks. the last one led to a field goal they actually made. colorado beat stanford for the first time since 1990 the year i graduated from boulder by the way. the buffs last game will finally be a ball game. colorado wins 10-5.

everybody back home in colorado. it means a lot. just because we are bowl eligible now, we still have a lot to improve on. >> thompson coming up with the intersection. >> to go from ... uh, wanting something to 6-2 now. it means everything. and to play with these guys. no one left. that's the big thing. no one left. no one quit. we all stayed here. it is a great accomplishment. >> our kid haves been through so much blankety blank that they just believed and, the way they fight, the way they keep fighting. you know, we were down to our fourth kicker. we just keep working everything and i'm so proud of these guys. we are so blessed to be at colorado. >> buffs. csu with the chance to get back to the break even mark. and so far, so good for the rams. nick stevens started the score and tv toss here to nick wassu, 7-0 visitors. the guys in green just getting warmed up.

all in the first half. the rams are rolling in the third. 35-10. after starting their season with four win ins a row, air force has back to back to back. hawaii got them today at home. they lost a double overtime. 34-27. in the end zone, sealed the deal. you can't do a sports cast without talking broncos. despite back to back setbacks, there but should they go down against houston, all bets would be off. >> the broncos drop one here by a final score of 21-13. >> back to back setbacks. it happened last season as well. twice. the key is to make sure the losing streak doesn't reach tremendous. >> like i said, the thing that concerned me a little bit. both games looked a little bit alike. it is not like us.

we can't get off to slow starts and we have been doing that. defensively, four out of sick games. there's a lot of things going on that we are addressing right now. and have to do differently to get corrected. >> if you need a motivation for winning you are in the wrong business. we aren't worried. this is a big game for us. >> reporter: most fans are looking at monday night as the broncos versus brock. but not the players. so they say. >> you have to worry abou it is not just about brock. everybody wants to make it about brock leaving. it is not just about brock. it is about the whole team. him, his receivers, his line. that is who it is about. it is our job to go out there and stop him. plain and simple. >> reporter: who would you call the most recognizable current bronco? i had to say von miller though emmanuel sanders could be number two. thank to that broncos huddle show.

getting recognized more as the interim head coach? >> i'm glad to be anonymous again. i can tell you that. it was an interesting deal. that's for sure. i'm focused on getting ready for this. i'm more glad than anybody. >> and we are all happy to have the head coach back. florida, 1-0. coming up in moments from now, the cubs will try to finally punch their ticket to the world the dodger. >> how about them buff ins.
