市区铁路改造项目的特点是全面更换为RTD市中心走廊服务了30年的铁路. 这一重大建设举措将提高轻轨系统的安全性和可靠性.

管理和维护资产处于良好的维修状态，确保所有委托RTD将其运送到目的地的个人的铁路网络的长期完整性. After more than 30 years, RTD正在投资其最老的铁路基础设施，以确保网络的长期完整性. 市中心环线的铺设路段位于混凝土下面，因此铁轨和铁轨下面的压载石更难以维护. Years of increasing vehicular and train traffic, along with chemicals like deicing salts, have taken a toll on the downtown tracks, making this project a priority.

These intersections include 15th and Stout, 17th and Stout, 15th and California, 17th and California, and Broadway and Welton.

Beginning May 26, all D and H line trains will be rerouted to Denver Union Station, and L Line service, which connects 30th•Downing Station to the downtown loop, will be suspended. 到2024年9月，RTD的中央走廊将不再运营轻轨服务. 在项目期间，沿15街和17街运营的RTD巴士路线也可能受到暂时影响, and the agency is working to limit any detours in the downtown area.

这项工作将被排序，以便不是所有的交叉路口将在同一时间受到影响. 在工程进行期间，车辆仍然可以通过这些区域. Yes, 这项工作将要求15日和17日全面停工，同时在这些地区进行工作. 车辆交通将尽可能有效地绕过这些封闭设施. RTD的意图是完成百老汇和韦尔顿的工作，同时保持百老汇的2车道交通, however, this is the intent and has not been confirmed. 工作区域附近的所有业务在任何时候都要保持畅通.

Staff considered the option of turning D and H line trains at the Convention Center. However, 有开关投标以支持顶部面板项目和操作会议中心开关所需的人员, while also performing routine maintenance across the entire rail system, is not possible. RTD的运营部门也没有管理人员可以在会议中心安排一名控制人员来监控该地区的列车运行情况. Additionally, 监控和数据采集(SCADA)组在支持和监控顶部面板项目和RTD整个轻轨系统的正常列车运行方面存在人员权力限制.

Beginning May 26, all D and H line trains will be rerouted to Denver Union Station, and L Line service, which connects 30th•Downing Station to the downtown loop, will be suspended. 到2024年9月，RTD的中央走廊将不再运营轻轨服务.
