GOLD LINE TRACKS THROUGH OLDE TOWNThe Gold Line is an 11.2-mile electric commuter rail line that will connect Denver Union Station to Wheat Ridge, passing through northwest Denver, AdamsCounty, and Arvada. It is scheduled to open in 2016. This is a project of the Regional Transportation District (RTD) through its contractor Denver Transit Part-ners (DTP).
Construction for the Gold Line in Olde Town Arvada will include installation of the commuter rail track and rail crossing improvements at Vance Street andOlde Wadsworth Boulevard. In order to perform these work activities in late fall 2014, Vance Street and Olde Wadsworth will be closed at the railroad tracks.These closures are scheduled to occur at separate times, allowing continued access to Olde Town and area businesses while work is in progress.
As part of the Gold Line construction, a traffic light will be installed at the Vance Street and Grandview intersection along with four railroad gate arms at eachcrossing. The crossing improvements will allow for the establishment of a Quiet Zone through Arvada which will eliminate the requirement of the trainsblowing their horns at intersections.
