RTD Service Disruptions webpage, Service Alerts and Next Ride apps provide best transit options to avoid delays

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) will perform necessary maintenance that will impact light rail service on the D, E and H lines and close the Alameda, I-25-Broadway, Evans and Louisiana – Pearl stations Tuesday through Thursday, May 23-25.

During the scheduled work, D Line trains will not operate between the 10th-Osage and Englewood stations. Trains will operate every 15 minutes at stations that remain in service.

E Line trains will not operate between the 10th-Osage and University of Denver stations. Trains will operate every 30 minutes at stations that remain in service.

H Line trains will not operate between University of Denver Station and downtown. Trains will operate every 30 minutes between Florida and University of Denver stations.

Crews will de-energize the overhead power lines to replace overhead wires at I-25-Broadway Station beginning Tuesday, May 23. Regular service on the D, E and H lines will resume Friday, May 26.

The closure will also accommodate third party installation of the Broadway and Mississippi pedestrian bridge that will connect customers to the I-25-Broadway Station from the west side.

Due to an ongoing staffing shortage, RTD is not able to offer bus shuttle service to affected stations during the scheduled maintenance. Alternate transportation options include RTD bus routes 0, 0L, 3, 9 , 11, 12, 21, 51 , 52.

RTD recognizes the inconvenience of this maintenance work and appreciates customers’ patience and understanding. Customers are encouraged to take advantage of the agency website and transit apps to stay informed of changes to transit services and quickly find options for alternate routes to avoid delays.
