The Northwest Parkway is an 8-mile (13 km) toll road running from the intersection of I-25 and E-470 to 96th Street north of US 36. Both termini are in Broomfield, Colorado, northwest of Denver. In combination with E-470 (47 miles) and SH 470 (27 miles), the Northwest Parkway forms a partial beltway of approximately 85 miles (137 km) around the Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area. Some 19 miles (31 km) lie between the west end of the Northwest Parkway and the northwest end of SH 470, the opposite end of the beltway.
The Northwest Parkway was funded entirely with private money and charges a $3.20 toll. The toll rate of approximately 40 cents per mile is one of the highest rates of any toll road in the United States. Tolls may be paid using highway-speed electronic tolling.
