Proposed 'Super Urban Network' Would Bring High-Speed Travel to Denver

The Colorado Department of Transportation and the E-470 Public Highway Authority have partnered with a self-described "next-generation transportation company" to develop an innovative system using magnetic levitation to transport Denver's passengers, cargo and vehicles at high speeds - of up to 200 mph - through a new "Super Urban Network." The system is intended to connect to and complement Denver's existing transportation network, greatly reducing congestion. Details of the planned network are presented in this article.
