Weekend work at Union Station June 11-12 to affect RTD commuter rail service

RTD will conduct federally required testing that will affect commuter rail service on A, B, G and N lines traveling to and from Union Station Saturday and Sunday, June 11-12.

RTD is working collaboratively with local transportation partners so third-party maintenance on the Park Avenue Bridge can take place concurrently with the rail testing, minimizing future disruptions. The Park Avenue and Wewatta Street intersection bridges travel over, or adjacent to, the A, B, G and N lines.

Service on the commuter rail lines to and from Union Station will be interrupted over a 48-hour period beginning Saturday and continuing through the end of service on Sunday. Expanded shuttle service will connect customers between affected stations. Regular service for all lines will resume Monday, June 13.
