Presuming you took the segment between I-70 and I-25, since you said it was $40. IF you'd gone the entire length around it would have been $65.40 for 4 axles one way.
There are plenty of signs prior to getting on E-470 that indicate it's a toll road. And upon entry there is a sign that indicates the rate as well as at each of the toll plaza/plate readers (used to be you had to stop at the booths and pay unless you had the express pass). Alternative is to stay on the respective E/W or N/S interstate to where they intersect and go in the direction you want. And be in stop and go -- key word stop -- traffic and construction on I-70.
