Balfour Beatty has completed construction and opened the
2.3-mile extension of the Denver Regional Transportation District’s
(RTD) E, F and R light rail lines. Known as the Southeast Rail
Extension during construction, the project adds three new stations:
Sky Ridge Station, Lone Tree City Center Station and Ridgegate
Parkway Station.
Connecting commuters in Denver’s southeast metro area to
important destinations throughout the line, the project extends the
E, F and R lines from Lincoln Station farther southeast, adjacent
to Interstate 25 and into the Denver suburb of Lone Tree, Colo. The
project also adds 1,300 parking spaces for commuters in a
park-and-ride lot at the Ridgegate Parkway Station.
"The grand opening of the extended E, F and R lines is a great
milestone for RTD, Balfour Beatty and everyone involved in the
delivery of the Southeast Rail Extension project," said Roger
Wilson, vice president of Balfour Beatty’s U.S. rail division. “The
Denver Metro region is experiencing tremendous growth and we’re
honored to be RTD’s partner in expanding its rail service to meet
the region’s access and mobility needs for the future.”
Balfour Beatty joined RTD for a grand opening ceremony on May
17, which included remarks from RTD General Manager and CEO Dave
Genova, Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet, and other elected officials
and community leaders who were instrumental in making the rail
extension a reality. Revenue service at the three new stations
began on May 19. For additional information about the Southeast
Rail Line Extension project, visit RTD’s website.
The Southeast Rail Extension project is part of the RTD’s
voter-approved FasTracks program to 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.
