Light rail service on some H and R lines in the Denver metro area will be suspended Tuesday and Wednesday for a maintenance project, the Regional Transportation District announced.

For the H Line, light rail service will be unavailable between the Nine Mile, Dayton and Southmoor stations. Instead, service will operate from the Florida Station to Nine Mile and from Southmoor to the 18th and California Station.

Bus shuttles will be provided between the Nine Mile, Dayton and Southmoor stations, with boarding at Gate E, the temporary gate and Gate A, respectively.

For the R Line, light rail service will be unavailable between the Nine Mile, Dayton and Belleview stations. Service will run normally from the Peoria Station to Nine Mile and from the Lincoln Station to Belleview.

Bus shuttle will also be provided for transportation between these stations, with boarding at Gate E for Nine Mile, the temporary date for Dayton and Gate A for Belleview.

Travelers should expect significant delays and are encouraged to use alternative stations during the maintenance work, officials said. 

These closures will allow crews to replace overhead wire on sections of the H and R lines. 

Regular light rail service on the H and R lines will resume at all stations Thursday.
