E470 Road Expansion Update - Scheduled Completion Dec. 2017

For those of us living near the E470 Toll Highway, the ongoing construction has been a bit difficult to deal with at times.  

 

Luckily, the projected completion date for this project is December 2017.

 

The $90 Million project began in the Spring of 2016.  With more and more travelers using the toll road, it was time for some expansion.  E470 states that traffic has increased 13 per cent each year since 2013. 

 

It is very convenient from to jump on the toll road and avoid I-25 at all costs.  Of course there is a hefty price to pay for this convenience.   To drive from my house to Denver International Airport and back is $11.80 in tolls.  Of course, the lack of traffic, increased speed limits and amount of time saved makes this worth the cost for me. 

 

Here is a chart which outlines the construction on E470.

I am sure the road will be very nice after it is completed and people in the area will be very happy about that.

Belinda Spillman - People are traveling more today than years ago. With so much road construction, this is very good information to know. Driving always goes better when drivers are prepared. These details  will prove to be helpful to many people. 

I love the type of services you provide to the people in Colorado and others planning to drive there too!

Hi Belinda - We're lucky so far, as there has been little construction on the NE section of E470 that gets us to DIA. That's fortunate, since the alternatives are pretty awful. It probably won't last, tho.

Hi Belinda...it seems like no matter what is done in the Denver Metro you will be  behind the growth. Why is C470 no toll...and E470 a toll road???
