DENVER (Dec. 3, 2024) –– The Regional Transportation District (RTD) will perform necessary maintenance that will impact light rail service on the H and R lines between Southmoor and Florida stations Tuesday, Dec. 10, through Thursday, Dec. 12.
During the three-day period, crews will conduct maintenance work, including rail grinding, to mitigate issues causing slow zones on the H and R lines along the I-225 corridor. Full service on the H and R lines will resume on Friday, Dec. 13.
H and R line trains will not operate on their regular routes while maintenance is taking place. H Line service will operate as normal north of Southmoor Station. Bus shuttles will replace H and R line trains between Southmoor and Florida stations.
R Line service will operate as normal between Peoria and Florida stations. No R Line trains will operate between Florida and Lincoln stations. R Line customers traveling south will need to take a bus shuttle from Florida Station to Southmoor Station. At Southmoor Station connections can be made to the E line north to Union Station or south to RidgeGate Parkway Station.
Boarding for bus shuttles will take place at the following gates:
- Southmoor Station – Gate A
- Dayton Station – Bus bridge sign in bus loop
- Nine Mile Station – Gate F
- Iliff Station – Gate A
- Florida Station – South side of E Florida Ave at S. Abilene St.
Customers whose trips are impacted by the temporary rail disruption are encouraged to use RTD’s Next Ride web app to plan a trip using alternate bus routes and to see bus and train locations in real time. Customers are also encouraged to sign up for Service Alerts for specific route information.
RTD thanks its customers for their patience as crews repair sections of track to remove speed restrictions in this area.
