Service on two Regional Transportation District light rail lines will be disrupted through early next week as crews replace 1,600 feet of overhead electrical wires, agency officials said.
RTD’s E and W lines will see service interruptions at Denver’s Union Station from the beginning of service Saturday until Tuesday. Riders should anticipate delays, the transportation district said in a news release.
The E line is being rerouted to a downtown loop and is detouring from the 10th-Osage Station to the Colfax at Auraria Station, then continuing to the 16th and 18th Street stations at Stout and California streets.
E line riders can take a temporary bus shuttle from the 10th-Osage Station to Union Station or take the 16th Street FreeRide, RTD officials said.
Bus shuttles are replacing W line service between the Auraria West Station and Union Station and will include the 10th-Osage Station to accommodate transfers.
E line shuttle locations:
- 10th-Osage Station: bus bridge gate on Osage Street;
- Empower Field at Mile High, Auraria West stations: bus bridge sign at Fifth and Larimer streets;
- Ball Arena-Elitch Gardens Station: bus bridge sign at station, near the Chopper Circle roundabout;
- Union Station: Gate B22 in the underground bus concourse.
Normal service is set to resume Tuesday, RTD officials said.
