RTD West Rail Line On Track to Open in Six Months

Posted by Heather Truhan on Wednesday, November 7th, 2012 at 2:46am.

The West Rail Line is slated to open on April 26, 2013, so SAVE THE DATE. RTD FasTracks recently released a before & after video, showing their progress along the 12.1 mile West Rail Line from downtown Denver's Union Station to the Jefferson County Government Center in Golden, CO. The construction progress shown in the video has taken place in less than four years.

How will the West Rail Line connect to other Denver rail lines?  

Direct from Union Station, passengers can already access the C line to the Littleton/Mineral station and the E line through the DTC to Lincoln Station. In approximately 2016, light rail transit will be available from Union Station to Denver Interational Airport (DIA), downtown Arvada and Westminster (71st & Lowell). Are you looking at properties along the new expansion lines? If not, maybe it's time to work with a Live Urban Realtor® who can guide you toward a transit-oriented future!
