As Labor Day weekend approaches, we want to remind motorists of the best ways to beat congestion on the I-70 mountain corridor. 

1. Ditch the car and travel using transit. Board Bustang or Pegasus at Denver Union Station or the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood to travel to many mountain towns along the I-70 mountain corridor. Once you’re there, use local transit to get around. Learn more at GoI70.com/transit. 

2. Carpool with friends or download the TreadShare app, which pairs riders with drivers to share the trip.

3. Change your peak travel time. Last year, more than 34,000 vehicles traveled on westbound I-70 through the Eisenhower Johnson Memorial Tunnels. This year, make sure you’re on the road before noon on Friday, Sept. 1, to experience less congestion on westbound I-70. If you’re on your return trip via eastbound I-70, you can expect congestion on both Sunday, Sept. 3 and Monday, Sept. 4. For your smoothest trip, stay in the mountains for dinner and head home after 7 p.m.

You can keep tabs on our GoI70 Travel Forecast to plan your trip before you get in your car, or visit COtrip.org for real-time travel times.
