Colorado 35
Colorado 35 is the short state highway connecting Interstate 70 and Interstate 270 along Quebec Street in Denver. It was formerly a longer route, serving former Stapleton International Airport. With the closure of the airport, Colorado 35 was curtailed to act as a connector between Interstate 70 and Interstate 270.
Most of these pictures were taken on the expressway section of Quebec Street (former Colorado 35) between Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and Interstate 70.

This picture is taken along northbound Quebec Street after Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Photo taken 11/10/03.
