road surface going through Denver?

Years ago when I went through Denver on the interstate hwy, the road surface, particularly in the right lane where I need to be, was just awful. Can anyone say what it is like now? Thanks

I've been on various sections of I-25 and for the most part, particularly for the right lane that you inquired about, it's not been bad. I've used I-25 to get down to Cherry Creek SP and didn't note anything particularly bad. The places that have been bad in the past have been repaired, especially in the downtown area and approaching the south junction with I-225.

In the north Metro area, there's been a lot of previous construction now completed from downtown north and it's vastly improved, but still just a few spots that still need attention, particularly around the flyovers for E-470 intersection with I-25. You've got 3 lanes north and they are all pretty decent all the way up where it goes from 3 to 2 lanes near the Mead exit. Then the roadway deteriorates significantly, particularly the right lane. AND...that's about where the construction starts all the way north to the Fort Collins area. Lots of lane shifts and narrow lanes with very heavy traffic.

Happy Travels!
