1. According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, the express lanes on I-70 will not collect tolls until "software issues" are resolved. For now, the lanes remain in a testing stage and are still free to use. Eventually, tolls will range from $2.50 to $4.50. Learn more through The Denver Post.
2. Patricia Dilworth of Lakewood, last saw in early January, has been found dead near Wadsworth Boulevard. Denver 7 ABC reported that police "do not suspect any criminal activity." Read more at Denver 7 ABC.
