Road Widening Program

More Road Ahead

Our region is growing, and E470 is built to keep it moving. Through our Road Widening Program, we’re adding capacity and improving infrastructure to help make every trip safe, reliable and free-flowing.

 

The next phase will widen E470 between 104th Avenue and US-85, helping improve mobility today while preparing the roadway for future growth. 

 

Work on this phase kicked off in October 2026.

Thanks for Keeping It Safe

Work zones ask a little more from everyone on the road. Slow down, stay alert and give crews and other drivers room to move safely. 

Construction and traffic control may occasionally cause slowdowns. We appreciate your patience as we make these improvements, and we’ll keep working with our contractors to maintain traffic flow and minimize impacts whenever possible.
