Starting on Monday, drivers traveling on certain parts of Interstate 25 and Interstate 70 will notice changes in toll prices. This is due to the implementation of "dynamic tolling", which adjusts the toll rates based on current traffic conditions. These changes specifically apply to the 18-mile stretch of I-25 between Monument and Castle Rock, as well as the 12-mile stretch of westbound I-70 between the Veterans Memorial Tunnel in Idaho Springs and Empire.
According to officials from the Colorado Department of Transportation, drivers can expect to see similar toll prices as before, with a range of $1.50 to $4.75 for I-25 and up to $9 for I-70. However, it's important to note that these toll rates may change every few minutes in order to help maintain minimum speeds and keep traffic flowing smoothly. This new pricing structure is expected to benefit both drivers and the overall transportation system.
In other transportation news, Colorado has been facing some challenges when it comes to weather and road conditions. With snow expected in the mountains on Sunday, there could be some issues for those traveling during the Thanksgiving holiday. Additionally, a recent study has found that extreme drought could become more frequent in Colorado due to climate change, occurring every 6 years instead of every 1,000.
As for current road conditions, icy roads and light snow have been reported along the I-70 corridor, with cold and windy conditions in Denver. In a recent case, a judge dismissed a fatal I-70 crash due to discovery violations by the Jeffco District Attorney. And while the Denver area has reopened, some highways in the plains remain closed.
