Denver Transit Construction Group, the RTD construction contractor building the West Corridor light rail project, will be setting girders on the north side of the 6th Avenue Bridge on Tuesday, December 22, 2009, from 5:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.
This activity will require a complete closure of the frontage road north of 6th Avenue between Simms and Quail. DTCG is hoping to accomplish this in one day, but it may require a short closure of the same area on Wednesday morning, December 23, to complete the girder set. Breeze Ski Rental will have access.
Be advised that all construction activities are weather-dependent and subject to change. There are more closures tentatively scheduled for later this fall and will be confirmed as tunnel work progresses.
FasTracks is RTD’s voter-approved transit program to expand rail and bus service throughout the RTD service area. FasTracks will build 122 miles of commuter rail and light rail, 18 miles of bus rapid transit service, add 21,000 new parking spaces, redevelop Denver Union Station and redirect bus service to better connect the eight-county District. The FasTracks investment initiative is projected to create more than 10,000 jobs during the height of construction, and will pump billions of dollars into the regional economy.
