Paying tolls electronically on 470?

We will be travelling through Denver this fall. I assume we're better off using the 470 rather than straight throuh on I25. If so, is there a way I can pay electronically rather than stopping at each toll booth? This would be a one-time event (or at most once a year).

    Don't use E-470, it's way to expensive and adds a ton of time to your trip (unless you're traveling during rush hour). Anyhow everything is electronic now, you don't even stop. Cameras take a picture of your license plate and they mail you the toll to your home address and you have like a month to pay.

    Actually unless you are headed East out of Denver in the end, I 25 is much more direct going North and South. E 470 swings way to the East and then loops back West to pick up I 25, an would add quite a bit of time to your drive. If you do take it, there are no longer "Toll Booths". They have cameras that pickup your plate number and then electronically send a bill. There are still coin baskets at some of the exits that you pay by change if you are getting off at that exit, but sounds like you were planning to go straight through and not use any of these exits.

    It's faster staying on I-25, unless you hit rush hour. Then it would just depend on rather you're willing to pay that much to save the time, which could be awhile depending on what time it is and if theres been any accidents.

    The toll booths aren't open anymore, everything is electronic now so you don't have to stop. They photograph the license plate and send a bill to your home address.

    If you're just going north or south through Denver, just stay on I25. using E470 is really a waste of time to bypass Denver..Look at a map. It's a long way around.
