Location: I-70 and Central Park Blvd, Denver

Former 3/4 mile notification for I-270. I-270 is a quick connector that heads northwest to I-25 towards Westminster and Fort Collins. Just beyond that we’ll hit SH-35, which barely exists – and is no longer signed from I-70.

Location: I-70 and Central Park Blvd, Denver

The new advance sign has been moved up a quarter mile to the new Central Park Blvd interchange. Grand Junction makes its debut as a control city.

Former sign advising US 36 traffic to take I-270 – but this was not replaced, so if you’re trying to follow US-36 you’ll probably get lost here.
