I-70 Mountain Express Lane Opens Saturday

IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4)– The Interstate 70 Mountain Express Lane opens on Saturday to drivers heading east from Empire to Idaho Springs. Tolls will be waived during the testing phase of the lane but drivers are encouraged to get an Express Toll pass.
The I-70 Express Lane operates for 13 miles between the twin Veterans Memorial Tunnels near Idaho Springs and the Empire exit. The lane allows eastbound traffic to use a newly built “shoulder lane” during peak travel periods.
