Light Rail Maintenance and Repairs
UPDATE: October 18, 2024
In early October, RTD's Maintenance of Way (MOW) staff moved to the Southwest Corridor to complete preventative maintenance work. Over the last week, six miles of rail defect mitigation efforts were completed near Colorado Station. Additionally, an overhead wire replacement project near Belleview Sation was completed.
Maintenance and Repairs
Preventative maintenance and isolated track repairs are currently underway along the Southeast Corridor. As repairs are made, speed restrictions will continue to be lifted. The resumption of normal train speeds is dependent on how quickly repairs are made to the isolated sections of track.
Maintenance schedules are subject to change, and timelines will be updated to reflect any necessary schedule adjustments.

Speed Restrictions
Light rail speed restrictions are in place for D, E, H, and R line trains traveling along the Southeast Corridor. The 10 mile-per-hour speed restrictions were implemented on June 4 and will be in place until crews complete the necessary preventative maintenance. As repairs are made to isolated sections of track, speed restrictions will continue to be lifted.
