Why is another road to Central City and Black Hawk necessary?
While the narrow, winding two lane roads were part of the charm of a trip to the historic gold mining areas of Central City and Black Hawk back when relatively few people made the trip at any one time, since the advent of limited stakes gaming, traffic loads have increased tremendously beyond the capacity of the existing roads to carry the traffic safely and with any reasonable predictability. The Parkway allows visitors a choice between an old, twisty road and a modern highway.
