RailService Disruption
Updated: RTD to conduct maintenance June 18-20 that will affect overnight service on the E, H and R lines
Tara Broghammer
The Regional Transportation District (RTD) will make necessary track repairs June 18-20 to a portion of the Southeast Corridor light rail line between Southmoor and Orchard stations that will require some service disruption during overnight hours between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.
The repairs will address track maintenance issues in an area of the line that is causing light rail trains to travel at reduced speeds. As repairs are made in this area and others throughout the corridor, areas of slow speed restrictions will be shortened.
Customers can expect the following delays and canceled trips during the work:
