RTD Breaks Ground on FasTracks Northwest Rail Line
The Regional Transportation District broke ground June 28 on the first segment of the Northwest Rail Line at the site of the future Westminster Station near 71st Avenue and Irving Street. The Northwest Line is the third FasTracks commuter rail line to get under way as part of the innovative Eagle P3 Project.
The first segment of the Northwest Rail Line will run for six miles between Denver Union Station and south Westminster. The Northwest Line, approved by voters in 2004 as part of the overall FasTracks system, will eventually continue through Westminster to Boulder and Longmont.
