This article implies that the Jefferson Parkway will complete the beltway but it will not. It is just a standalone toll road dumping traffic into residential streets on both ends. I would rather see it connect directly to the NW Parkway and have a proper interchange with 36. This would help the NW Parkway numbers and the lack of this interchange has probably contributed to its current low usage.

I also have fears they will do something with 72 & 93 forcing the use of the new toll road. Maps I have seen show it overlapping with these two roads and I’m not really sure what that means. Both roads can get busy but never really seem that bad. At least not bad enough to necessitate this new toll road.

I am not completely against the idea for this new road but would just like to see a proper connection with 36 and the rest of 470 to fully be behind it. It just seems there are bigger roadway issues to address in the Denver area then a standalone stretch of toll road.
