Facility Overview
Lot 1 is an expansive open-air surface parking facility situated at 1191 N Co Rd 157 in Strasburg, Colorado. Serving the eastern Denver metropolitan fringe and the Interstate 70 corridor across Adams and Arapahoe counties, this facility provides accessible, ground-level parking. Because the facility is an outdoor surface lot with no overhead decks, structures, or low-hanging barriers, it offers unrestricted vertical clearance. This layout accommodates a diverse range of vehicles, including standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, full-size pickup trucks, heavy-duty utility vehicles, high-roof cargo vans, and vehicles towing small trailers.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Conveniently situated along the County Road 157 transportation axis just north of Interstate 70, Lot 1 provides swift access to key local destinations in Strasburg and neighboring plains communities. Visitors are within a short 3- to 5-minute drive of historic downtown Strasburg and the renowned Comanche Crossing Museum, which commemorates the completion of the continuous transcontinental railway chain. The facility is also ideally located for drivers visiting local community centers, agricultural hubs, regional athletic fields, and local dining establishments along Colfax Avenue and 4th Avenue. Furthermore, Lot 1 serves as an accessible staging and meetup point for travelers commuting west toward Aurora, the Denver International Airport (DEN) corridor (approximately 30 minutes away), or eastward across Colorado’s eastern plains.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward via North County Road 157, featuring wide approach aprons designed to manage two-way traffic efficiently without congestion. The lot connects almost immediately to Interstate 70 (Exit 310), offering rapid east-west arterial access across the state, as well as direct connections to US-40 / US-287 (Colfax Avenue). While Strasburg is a rural-suburban community without direct light rail or municipal subway lines, regional roadway networks and commuter carpooling arrangements make this facility a dependable rendezvous location for regional drivers and daily I-70 commuters.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching via I-70, take Exit 310 for Strasburg and travel north onto County Road 157; entrance signage is clearly visible from the main roadway. During winter months, be prepared for open-plains wind and snow conditions by checking local CDOT highway reports prior to travel. Drivers operating high-profile vehicles or carrying rooftop gear will appreciate the completely open headroom, but always ensure your vehicle is parked squarely between stalls to allow ample clearance for neighboring trucks and SUVs.
