Does anyone know how much is the toll to go around Denver. Coming south on I-25 to I-70 pulling 5th wheel. Got my bill it seemed kind of high.

And with good reason (tongue in cheek)...it's one of the most expensive toll roads in the USA, at a rate of 37 cents per mile. There's a toll for 2 axles and then increasing tolls for each axle you add beyond 2. It's 47 miles all the way around the east side of the Denver Metro area. This is not to be confused with CO 470 or in the old days C-470 which is around the WEST side of the Metro, from I-25 at the south end in the Highlands Ranch area, to just outside of Golden at the I-70 intersection. This roadway is free.

And there's also 2 different rates. The license plate reader toll and the ExpressToll. Those of us who travel the various toll portions of roads in the Denver area on a regular basis, likely have an ExpressToll account.

The toll booths on E-470 are not being built; they are abandoned, and have been for a number of years, when the E-470 Public Highway Authority changed over to the license plate reader tolls/ExpressTolls instead of making people stop 5 times if they were going all the way around.
