Interstate 225 Interstate 225 is a connector spur route of Interstate 25 in Colorado . It is the only auxiliary route of Interstate 25 , and one of two auxiliary Interstate highways in the state of Colorado . I-225 traverses Aurora and small portions of Denver and Greenwood Village . It runs north from Interstate 25 to Interstate 70 . It intersects with Interstate 70 Business/U.S. Highway 40/U.S. Highway 287, known locally as Colfax Avenue . Construction on the freeway began in 1964 and continued progressively through many years until final completion in 1976.Route description The southern end of I-225 begins at an interchange with Interstate 25, as a typical two lane interstate with a 65 mph speed limit . The road heads northeastward through southern Denver, and after exits with DTC Boulevard and Yosemite Street in Greenwood Village, the road becomes three lanes with a fourth auxiliary lane traversing the Denver/Greenwood Village city limits . With Cherry Creek State Park and Cherry Creek Reservoir on its east side , the highway interchanges with State Highway 83 at the northern boundary of the park. Following the exit at SH 83 , the freeway enters Aurora, where it turns northward, maintaining three through lanes, auxiliary lanes at each exit, and a 65 mph speed limit to its northern terminus at I-70, and has upgraded exits at Iliff Avenue, Mississippi Avenue, Alameda Avenue , and 6th Avenue . After crossing Sand Creek , the freeway interchanges with Colfax Avenue, and then with 17th Place. After the exit, I-225 enters Adams County , continuing through the city of Aurora. The route then crosses a railroad and continues north, where it interchanges with Interstate 70. The northbound ramp to westbound I-70 reenters Denver, and the eastbound I-70 to southbound I-225 ramp originates in Denver but enters Aurora as it passes under the westbound I-70 to southbound I-225 ramp.History Construction on I-225 began in May 1964 at Interstate 70. A section from Colfax Avenue to Sixth Avenue was opened in 1966. Five years later, a segment between Mississippi Avenue and Parker Road was opened, and construction began on another segment south of Parker Road, completed in May 1975 . The rest of the route between Yosemite Street and Interstate 25 was completed in May 1976 . The portion from I-25 to SH 83 / Parker Road was rebuilt as part of the T-REX Project completed in 2006. The highway was later widened between Parker Road and Mississippi Avenue to three lanes, as part of a project to widen the entire freeway to I-70; construction on this portion took place between May 2012 and November 2014 .Exit list
