DENVER, CO - AUGUST 18: Cars head westbound along I-70 drive between Central Park Blvd and Quebec St on August 18, 2022 in Denver, Colorado. Colorado's express toll lanes network, which is expanding to more highway stretches in coming months, has seen varying impacts during the pandemic. Some express corridors, including one choked Interstate 25 section and the first Interstate 70 mountain toll lane, have either recovered or saw little change in traffic during the pandemic. But other toll lanes that the Colorado Department of Transportation opened during the pandemic, especially on C-470, have not met expectations -- largely because commute patterns have changed. Even that lane is bringing in a good chunk of change (on pace for $8.5 million during the last fiscal year), but not as much as CDOT had hoped -- and it had to scramble to begin repaying project bonds that depended on toll revenue. Express lane use also is still down below pre-pandemic levels on U.S. 36, which is privately managed, but it's been recovering. (Photo by Helen H. Richardson/The Denver Post)
