From RDS/Denver Cityscape "Construction is proposed to start in 2015 with completion in late 2016"

I would highly doubt it unless the economics of it work out, it would be very expensive at this point since you would have to build a temporary structure over the rails to protect it during construction...and sneaking in foundations around all the rails would be a logistics nightmare. In other words, not likely for a very long time, if ever. There are other precedents around the world of this being done, but they are only in very dense areas where space is a premium (I think there is/was a proposal in D.C. and London if i recall).
