Southern Metro Denver and Southern Colorado:
First Question: To E-470 or not to E-470?
Quick answer: If you live in Parker, take E-470, it saves time from there.
Otherwise: From I-25 and C-470, E-470 will cost you $5.00 each way (effective 1/1/03). Is it worth it? At 10AM on Saturday Morning, probably not. I-25 traffic won't be that bad, and you'll have to stop three times to pay tolls, whereas you won't have to stop going on the freeway at all. E-470 will not be any faster; it will just cost $5.00 more. However, if it's 4:30 PM on a snowy Friday Afternoon, $5.00 is a small price to pay to avoid the Tech Center Madness. Pay the toll and be really glad E-470 is there.  If you plan on making E-470 a regular habit, GET THE EXPRESS TOLL PASS. You don't have to stop at the toll plazas: It really saves time, and costs nothing!

Stay as far to the right as possible, exiting Peņa before you merge with traffic to the E-470 off-ramp. Stay to the right for E-470 Southbound.
