The R Line also briefly served this station from its opening in 2019, but service on the line was cut back to Lincoln station due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This service change has persisted since the pandemic; passengers must transfer at Lincoln for service towards Aurora and Denver International Airport.
The station consists of two side platforms located adjacent to the Sky Ridge Medical Center, near the intersection of Interstate 25 and Sky Ridge Avenue. The station has ten bicycle racks.[1] This station was built as part of the 2.3-mile (3.7 km) Southeast Rail Extension to RidgeGate, which began in 2016 and cost $223 million.[2] It opened on May 17, 2019.[3]
