RTD to perform early Saturday track repair on light rail bridge over Cherry
Creek
Downtown service for D and H lines will divert to Union Station; L Line
alternate is bus Route 43
DENVER (Aug. 31, 2021) – The Regional Transportation District (RTD) will
perform necessary maintenance that will impact D, H and L light rail service
between the Colfax at Auraria and 30th•Downing stations on Saturday morning.
Light rail customers attending the Taste of Colorado and Meet in the Street
events on the 16th Street Mall will not be affected by the maintenance work.
Crews will repair and replace concrete track supports on the rail bridge
crossing Cherry Creek, located at Speer Boulevard and Stout Street. Overnight
work on the rail bridge will begin at 12:01 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 4. Repairs
will be completed, and regular service will resume beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday.
While maintenance on the track is underway, D and H Line trains will not
operate on their regular routes. The trains will not serve the Theatre
District•Convention Center through the downtown loop. Trains will be rerouted
north of Colfax at Auraria Station to provide service to and from Union
Station, making stops at Empower Field at Mile High and Ball Arena•Elitch
Gardens stations.
There will be no L Line service while the maintenance work is taking place. L
Line customers can use RTD bus Route 43 as an alternate option.
From the Colfax at Auraria Station on Friday, the last northbound train will
depart at 11:09 p.m., and the last southbound train will depart at 11:27 p.m.
From the same station Saturday, the first northbound train will depart at 8:09
a.m., and the first southbound train will depart at 8:18 a.m.
RTD’s Free MallRide service will be suspended Sept. 4-6 while the 16th Street
Mall is closed to all vehicle traffic for the Meet in the Street and Taste of
Colorado events. RTD’s Free MetroRide buses will provide alternate Mall service
during the events, operating on 15th and 17th streets.
- Free MetroRide buses operating on 15th Street will travel toward Union
Station.
