The Denver Skyway Bridge begins immediately to the south of the station. The single-track bridge runs nearly 2 miles to 48th & Brighton/National Western Center station on the other side, making it the longest bridge in Colorado. The N Line turns to follow a former Union Pacific right-of-way north of the station which was not double-tracked during the N Line's construction. With the exception of a short segment in Thornton, the N Line remains a single track from this station to its northern terminus at Eastlake-124th station.
