C-470: I-25 to Wadsworth Boulevard
The C-470 Express Lanes are along 12.5 miles of C-470 between I-25 and Wadsworth Boulevard.
Starting Oct. 29, 2026, the Express Lanes on C-470 will begin using dynamic tolling. This means the price to use the Express Lane will change based on real-time traffic levels. When traffic is heavier, prices go up to help keep the Express Lanes from getting congested, so drivers who choose to use them can still count on a faster, more reliable trip.
The price will always be displayed before you enter the Express Lane. The price displayed upon entry into an Express Lane is the price drivers pay, even if tolls change when the vehicle is in the Express Lane.
