3 Driving Directions Directions from the Airport: If you fly, you will fly in and out of Denver International Airport (DIA). Driving time between DIA and Boulder is approximately 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. There are two ways to get from DIA to Boulder, one via the freeway and another using the toll road E-470/Northwest Parkway. Freeway -- From DIA, follow Pen a Boulevard (10 miles) south to I-70, and exit onto I-70 west. Follow I-70 to I-270 west. I-270 merges onto U.S. Highway 36 west and takes you into Boulder (about 23 miles). Once you're in Boulder, take a left on Colorado Avenue (first stop light).

The one-way cost for the toll road, as of April 2012, is $9.50 and fees are automatically recorded and billed through the automobile's license plate. Automobiles with ExpressToll Transponders would be charged $8.20.
