RTD to replace a portion of A Line service with bus shuttles Saturday east of Peoria Station
RTD will conduct planned track maintenance work Saturday, Nov. 2 that will require bus shuttles to replace train service between Peoria and Denver Airport stations.
From the start of service Saturday through approximately 4 p.m., crews will perform track surfacing work between Peoria and Denver Airport stations. Trains will operate at regular, 15-minute frequencies between Union Station and Peoria Station. Bus shuttles will be in place to continue travel between Peoria and Denver Airport stations.
Customers can board bus shuttles at the following locations:
- Peoria Station – Gate E
- 40th Avenue and Airport·Gateway Park Station – Gate A
- 61st·Peña Station – Board next to the platform
- Denver Airport Station (DEN Transit Center, Level 1) – Arrivals: Gate 6, Departures: Gate 7
This Saturday’s work is part of a nearly three-week, planned surfacing program to smooth commuter rail track along the A Line between Union Station and Denver Airport Station. The maintenance began Oct. 21 and is expected to continue through early November.
The planned surfacing work will take place from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. Sundays through Fridays, with possible work on Friday and Saturday nights, weather permitting. Expect potential delays and boarding adjustments at stations. Please check signs and listen for announcements on station platforms or check RTD's Service Alerts page for more information.
Train operators are required to sound horns under circumstances that require additional safety precautions, such as when traveling through a work area.
Customers are encouraged to use RTD’s Next Ride web app to plan their trip, view other options and receive Service Alerts. Plan ahead and prepare for extra time for bus shuttle transfers to or from the airport.
Running multiple trains across the lines throughout the day inevitably leads to shifting and settling of the ballast, the rocks beneath the tracks. To protect trains, tracks and customers, RTD includes regular surfacing as part of its overall maintenance program. The program corrects the rail alignment for a smoother ride and is essential for delivering safe and reliable transit service.
RTD thanks its customers for their patience as the agency works to make lives better through connections.
