Auraria West Light Rail Station Remains Closed

There have been a lot of light rail station closures this summer as RTD prepared the new Millennium Bridge Station for the new light rail lines that will start running to the Union Station area in 2013. Most light rail stations in Denver have reopened, but the Auraria West Station will remain closed at least until Friday, September 30. When it reopens it will be one block west behind the Printing and Design Center.

RTD recommends that riders on the C and E lines use the Invesco at Mile High Station or ride the D or F lines to the Colfax at Auraria Station.

The last time that I took the light rail from Colfax and Auraria, there were more passengers than I remember, but the train was not that crowded. Hopefully, this change will not be too much of an inconvenience. It is too bad, though, that all the work could not be done before school started.
