RTD has announced a few detours that will apply next Thursday, August 28 — the night of Obama’s acceptance speech at Invesco / Mile High. These detours will apply Thursday only — busses will run on their regular routes the rest of the week.
The Federal Transfer Center at Colfax and Federal will be closed from 9 a.m. until midnight. Colfax will be closed between Federal and Kalamath during that period, so routes that stop at the Transfer Center will be affected. If you’re riding one of those routes, you should expect some delays and detours, which may impact scheduled connecting bus trips. The affected routes are:
- Northbound / southbound: 7, 30, 31, 49 and 50
- Westbound / eastbound: 1, 16, 16L and 20
During the acceptance speech, Interstate 25 from 6th Avenue to I-70 will be closed from approximately 5:00 p.m. to midnight. The routes listed below will be affected by the closure; if you’re riding one of them, you should expect delays and detours which may impact scheduled connecting bus trips.
- Southbound: 120X
- Westbound / eastbound: B, 10 and AF
A complete list of RTD detours and service interruptions for the entire week of the convention (August 25–28 ) are posted on the RTD web site at www.RTD-Denver.com. There are also informational brochures on all RTD buses and light rail trains.
