I-25/Broadway Station is a light rail station in the RTD Light rail system of Denver, Colorado. As the name implies, the station is located at the interchange between Interstate 25 and Broadway in south-central Denver. It is a three-platform station. When the system was first constructed in 1994, I-25/Broadway was the southern terminus for the Central Line, at that time built in the lone corridor in the LRT system. Since then, three new corridors have been constructed. The station has a total of 1,140 parking spaces. It is the major transfer point for commuters travelling from Littleton and Englewood on the Southwest Line to the Denver Technological Center on the Southeast Lines. Broadway Station is becoming a focal point of a new transit-oriented development on the site of the old Gates Rubber Company factory site, just south and west of the station.

[edit] Service of Lines

An examination of the public timetables shows that this station is the site of "European style" timed transfer connections during peak periods between southbound C and H Line and northbound D Line trains, and after midnight between southbound D and E Line and miscellaneous northbound trains.

Tracks in this station are laid out in a wye. Trains originating at the yard south of Evans Station and bound for the Southeast Lines bypass I-25/Broadway platforms, but operate in service from Evans Station. Trains returning to the yard do not operate in service.
