An abandoned suitcase below a bridge at a light rail station caused an evacuation and detours for public transit near Englewood Civic Center tonight.
The bag was discovered just before 6 p.m.
“The Bomb Squad rendered safe the suitcase at 8:08 p.m.,” according to a press release from the Englewood Police Department.
The Englewood Civic Center and library were closed, and several nearby apartments were also evacuated.
The light rail was briefly closed, with buses ferrying commuters between West Evans Avenue and as far north as West Oxford Avenue, before trains were allowed to continue through the station but not stop, said RTD spokeswoman Daria Serna.
