Bus shuttles to replace portion of G Line Oct. 24-25 during track, bridge maintenance
Rail service will be suspended between Wheat Ridge-Ward Road and Clear Creek-Federal stations
DENVER (Oct. 19, 2026) –– The Regional Transportation District (RTD)will suspend G Line rail service between the Wheat Ridge-Ward Road and Clear Creek-Federal stations for a six-hour period, from 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24, to 3 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25. The closure is necessary to support planned maintenance at the Balsam Street crossing and work by the City of Arvada on the Arvada Ralston bridge.
RTD and the City of Arvada are coordinating these efforts to complete both projects during the same service window, minimizing impacts to transit customers. Buses will replace rail service between the affected stations.
Customers can board bus shuttles at the following station locations:
- Wheat Ridge-Ward Road – Gate B
- Arvada Ridge – Gate B
- Olde Town Arvada – Gate A
- 60th & Sheridan-Arvada Gold Strike – Gate A
- Clear Creek-Federal – Gate C
G Line service will continue to operate normal service between Union Station and Clear Creek-Federal Station and B Line service will not be impacted by the work. Full rail service on the G Line will resume at 3 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 25.
Customers are encouraged to plan ahead, expect delays, and check signage at stations for service updates. Customers can check the RTD website ahead of time and sign up for Service Alerts. Complete schedules for all RTD services are available on the NextRide app and at rtd-denver.com.
