Denver – As a part of the Regional Transportation District’s (RTD) ongoing State of
Good Repair efforts to provide safe and reliable service for riders, RTD is removing
and replacing the concrete passenger loading ramps in downtown Denver at three
stations over the upcoming months.
The light rail station at 16th/California was the second of these light rail stations to
be reconstructed; it will be fully operational beginning Oct. 31. The light rail station
at 18th/Stout in downtown Denver will now be closed for construction for four
weeks from Nov. 3 to approximately Dec. 5.
During construction, no passengers will be able to get on or off the train at the
station, and no trains will stop at the station. Passengers can use the 16th/Stout or
the 18th/California light rail stations for D, F and H line service.
Alternative routes:
The Free MetroRide stops at 18th/California (traveling from Civic Center to Union
Station) and at 19th/Stout (traveling from Union Station to Civic Center). This free
service is a great alternative to the Free MallRide and runs Monday-Friday from
6 a.m. – 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. with arrival times every five to 10
minutes.
