Access to RTD’s Orchard Station pedestrian bridge limited during local improvements to Orchard Station Park

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) is coordinating with local partners Goldsmith Metropolitan District and the City of Greenwood Village to ensure customer access to light rail during a six-month project to redevelop the green space at Orchard Station Park beginning March 26. Light rail service will not be affected by the project.

During the initial phase of work, which includes construction of a sound wall along I-25, crews will work to minimize disruptions and maintain access whenever possible. The park will be closed during the second phase, which includes improvements to landscaping and walkways and creation of a new pond and seating area.

While the project is underway, light rail customers can follow posted detours around the perimeter of the construction site to travel to and from the Orchard Station pedestrian bridge.

RTD offers the DTC FlexRide as a single service area operating on both sides of I-25 between Belleview and Sky Ridge stations. Reservations are required for FlexRide service and can be made in as little as 10 minutes prior to pick up using a desktop computer or mobile device. The cost of service is the same as an RTD fare and special discounts can be applied. Hours of operation are 5:30 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Friday.

To stay informed about project progress and access to RTD’s Orchard Station pedestrian bridge, customers can visit the Orchard Station Park Improvements project webpage. The project is planned to be completed in October.
