I-70 in Colorado, going East
Has anyone experienced the "toll road" part of I-70? It appears that towing of any trailer would not be included in the toll road portion of I-70. Does that sound right? Hate to assume. Thanks

Thanks for all the answers. RedRocket, this is what I read also. I just wanted to make sure that it is an option whether one wants to use the toll part or not. I also believe from that the Colorado Highway Dept. said no trailers, so I would be inclined to believe that all trailers including RV's were included. Again Thanks to all.............
You are correct that trailers are not allowed on the I70 eastbound ExpressToll lane. I even read somewhere that vehicles longer than 25 feet were not allowed either, but not sure if that is true. That ExpressToll lane is generally pretty expensive too, so unless going through there during peak traffic time, you would't want to pay for it. I've never paid for it but also don't usually find myself on I70 during peak traffic times... it can be a nightmare. Do yourself a favor and avoid that I70 eastbound section of highway Sat/Sun from about 3p-6p winter and summer.
That lane has not even been open for 2 years yet and a lot of CO regulars commonly forget it even exists. Not surprising that it may have slipped Thom's mind that it existed.
