Light Rail Maintenance and Repairs

Two overnight extended maintenance windows are scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 25, and Sunday, Jan. 26, between Florida and Southmoor stations. The 12-hour maintenance windows will temporarily impact weekend light rail service on the H and R lines between 4:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on both days.

During a separate three-day period on Tuesday, Jan. 28, through Thursday, Jan. 30, RTD will perform track maintenance between Southmoor and I-25•Broadway stations. Bus shuttles will replace light rail trains between the affected stations to continue providing connections for customers. Multiple bus routes provide alternate service and connections in the area, and customers are encouraged to use RTD’s Next Ride app to explore the other available options.

During the three-day period, crews will focus their efforts on the Southeast Corridor, with a goal of completing all necessary work and removing the remaining speed restrictions in Slow Zone #1. Instead of continuing to do work during limited overnight maintenance windows, RTD staff has extended the window to occur over three days, prioritizing and expediting the necessary work. While the agency’s goal is to remove the remaining speed restrictions in Slow Zone #1 following the three-day disruption, it will be dependent on several factors, including inclement weather that could impact the work’s completion.
