Colorado Event Celebrates The Launch Of Huge I-70 Project
The Denver Post reports, “Federal and state officials on Wednesday kicked off several off-highway projects that will serve as a prelude to next year’s massive reconstruction of Interstate 70 at Floyd Hill.” The ceremony marked the launch of early projects to construct roundabouts, wildlife crossings and a park-and-ride lot for customers of regional bus services. However, it also “served as a celebration of the larger multi-year, $700 million project. . . . Work is set to begin next spring and could last as long as five years, affecting a primary construction zone that extends six miles. . . . The Colorado Department of Transportation’s plans include extending I-70’s westbound tolled express lane to the top of Floyd Hill to eliminate a bottleneck; reconstructing significant portions of the highway through Clear Creek Canyon to smooth those curves; and extending a frontage road while relocating major portions of the creek.”

Global News reports, during an interview yesterday morning, Toronto mayor John Tory, a candidate for reelection, said he would be open to revisiting a parkway congestion pricing proposal he advanced in 2016 before Ontario government blocked him. Tory said he still backs a tolling solution, “something that would be very fair. It would help us to manage traffic and it would be considerate of the environment.” In response to a Global News request for comment, the Ontario transportation ministry said it disagrees with Tory. “Our government will not be imposing any new tolls on any roads in Ontario,” the ministry stated.
