Road Widening Program

People choose E470 because it’s quick, safe, and dependable. To keep it that way, we’re adding capacity ahead of the region’s rapid growth.

 

Since 2016, we’ve been widening the corridor, improving traffic flow, and building long‑term reliability into every mile. Along the way, we’ve also built more than 12.5 miles of the High Plains Trail as part of our widening projects—another investment in how our communities move.

Upcoming Traffic Impacts:

No upcoming traffic impacts at this time.


Project Timeline:

  • The third phase, between 104th Ave. to US-85, is scheduled to begin in late 2026

E470 puts toll revenue to work by investing in the road’s future. While we build, safety is our top priority—for you and for our crews. Setting up and removing traffic control takes time, and it can create unexpected slowdowns.

We know that delays on a toll road can be frustrating. We get it, and we appreciate your patience. We work closely with our contractors to keep traffic moving and reduce impacts whenever we can.

Thanks for choosing E470—and for driving safely through this important work.
