RACE DAY SITE ACCESS

E-470 TOLLS:

DO NOT STOP AT E-470 TOLL between hours of 4:30am and 7:00am on Sunday June 29th at either the Quincy Avenue or Smoky Hill exits approaching venue from the south or approaching venue from the north on E-470. Cost of Toll will be paid by DWTS. The E-470 SMOKY HILL exit should be considered an alternate exit - there will be NO signage directing you to the race venue from the E-470 SMOKY HILL exit.

TRAFFIC LIGHT:

The traffic light at Gun Club Road and Quincy Avenue will be modified (either blinking or off). There will be several Aurora Police Department officers positioned to ensure and facilitate the unimpeded flow of event traffic EAST BOUND on QUINCY Avenue to venue entrance from 5:00am to 7:00am.

TRAFFIC LANE DIRECTION:

BOTH LANES on Quincy Avenue (East Bound) will be dedicated EAST BOUND lanes (towards RACE SITE entrance at South Powhatton Road) between the hours of 5:00am thru 7:00am. This action will expedite flow of traffic into event parking at Arapahoe Park. At entrance to Race venue you will be able to use BOTH LANES on Powhatton Road, again doubling the efficiency as all lanes will be dedicated to inbound traffic ONLY (towards the designated event parking at Arapahoe Park).

PARKING SERVICE:

Ample parking personnel will be in position Race Day morning to ensure a continuous, orderly and expedient flow of traffic into the designated Parking area(s) and naturally ensure the same is true at time of EXIT
