On a northward path the line arrives at Eastlake/124th station, the site of a historic grain elevator and Eastlake, Colorado. On a northwest path the line continues until near East 112th Avenue where in travels north into the Northglenn/112th station. Then, on a slight northeast path, the line near 100th Avenue curves northwest into the Thornton Crossroads/104th station. From there it passes under Interstate 76 and Colorado State Highway 224, then again over the South Platte River following a slightly northwest path north until the Original Thornton/88th station. The northeasterly line near Riverside Cemetery then enters the Skyway Bridge to begin a northern path returning to grade level near the Commerce City/72nd station following again the former rail right of way into the station. The N line route leaves Union Station following the Union Pacific / BNSF corridor, near Coors Field it crosses over the rail yards and twice the South Platte River continuing northeast into the 48th & Brighton/National Western Center station located near the National Western Stock Show complex. A notable exception to using the existing railroad right-of-way is the RTD designated "Skyway Bridge" whose path takes it over and past several obstacles: it crosses the BNSF Railway railroad tracks, Brighton Boulevard, a Union Pacific Railroad spur track, the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company (FRICO) Ditch, the Metro Waste Water Plant and Suncor oil processing site, Sand Creek, and Interstate 270. It runs mostly on a preexisting railroad right-of-way to its northern terminus at Eastlake/124th station. The N Line's southern terminus is at Union Station in Denver. Despite slowdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the line opened on September 21, 2020. By August 2018, construction on the line was 85% complete, but the estimated completion had slipped to late 2020 or early 2021 the start of revenue service had again been delayed several months by September 2019. The GBBH joint Venture is operating under the name Regional Rail Partners (RRP). Groundbreaking of the N Line's construction occurred on Ma with an expected completion date in 2018. The GBBH contract included an option that when funding is available RTD can exercise the option to build the line to 162nd Avenue. The contract to build the North Metro Rail line to 124th Avenue was awarded to Graham, Balfour Beatty, Hamon Constructors (GBBH) in November 2013 with notice to proceed in December 2013. A preexisting railroad right-of-way for the line was purchased in 2009. In September 2006 the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was started, with completion in late 2010, and gaining approval by the Federal Transit Administration in April 2011. In the 2004 election year voters approved the North Metro Corridor as part of the RTD FasTracks expansion plan. The possibilities and studies for a rail line in the North Metropolitan Denver have existed since the opening of the Light Rail Central Corridor in 1994.
