Around 4:45 p.m., RTD Public Information Officer Tina Marquez said they were trying to "build a bus bridge" between 10th Avenue and Osage Street and Alameda due to the interruption to the light rail service. The outage has affected the D Line, E Line and W Line. Service has since been restored.

Xcel said around 4:30 p.m., a car struck a pole near 4th Avenue and Lipan Street and knocked it down across the light rail tracks.
