H Line (RTD)

Light rail line in the Denver metropolitan area

The H Line, part of the light rail system operated by the Regional Transportation District in the Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area in Colorado, was added to the system on November 17, 2006, with the completion of the Southeast Corridor project (the "T-Rex Project"). It is one of four routes that were originally part of the RTD's service plan for the corridor.

Quick Facts Overview, Owner ...

The line was extended to reach Florida station on February 24, 2017 along with the opening of the R line.[1]

From 3:00 am to 5:30 am, some H Line trains originate at Evans Station operating southbound to Florida Station.

Beginning May 26, 2024, the H Line will operate at a 60 minute headway due to repairs of the coping panels on the Southeast Corridor. This is a reduction from the line's typical 15 minute headways. Additionally, trains will be rerouted from 18th Street to Union Station due to downtown Denver track recontruction.[2]

Route

The H Line's northern terminus is at 18th and California in downtown Denver. It shares track with the L Line (RTD) in Downtown Denver (Stout and California Street Stations) and the D Line and F Line (RTD) until it reaches I-25 & Broadway station, then follows the Southeast Corridor to a junction past Southmoor Station, and follows the I-225 branch of the system to Southeast terminus at Florida station in Aurora.[3]

The 2004 voter-approved FasTracks initiative extended the H Line approximately 3.5 mi (5.63 km) to the north along Interstate 225 with stops at Iliff Avenue and Florida Avenue. Work began in 2012, and the two station extension was combined with I-225 corridor light-rail line in 2013. Construction was long expected to be completed in 2016,[4] however opening was delayed until February 24, 2017.[5]
