Overview
- RTD says a gasoline tanker struck the Yale Avenue light-rail bridge support on Thanksgiving, damaging a retaining wall and halting northbound operations on the structure.
- Bus shuttles are running between Southmoor and I-25/Broadway, with trains sharing the opposite track in the affected segment and reduced frequency for E and H riders.
- E Line trains operate normally between Southmoor and RidgeGate Parkway, but customers heading downtown must transfer at I-25/Broadway under the temporary plan.
- Repair crews began emergency work after the semi was removed late Thursday, and officials have not provided an estimated time to fully restore regular service.
- The driver of the tanker was pronounced dead, according to police and local reports, and multiple agencies managed a gasoline spill with no explosion reported.
