Denver International Airport Concourse A Map (Most Up-To-Date)
DEN Concourse A is a long, straight concourse with a central “core” (shops/food) where the underground train station sits directly below, plus two wings that stretch out to lower- and higher-numbered A-gates. It’s the only DEN concourse with a true airside backup route: the A-Bridge pedestrian skybridge to the Jeppesen Terminal within Denver’s main airport grounds, running south–north between the terminal and the concourse core.
Map Table
| Zone | Connection | Walk Time |
|---|---|---|
| A-Bridge vestibule (Jeppesen Level 6 North Wall) | Post-security access gates | West Security exit → vestibule: 3 min |
| A-Bridge span | Terminal ↔ Concourse A core | 4–6 min |
| Concourse A Center Core (near A33–A48) | AGT train escalators/elevators | Core → train platform: 2–3 min |
| Regional cluster A14–A25 (A15/A18 area) | East wing extension | Core → A15: 6–8 min |
| Far-gate cluster A60+ (A70 area) | Far east extension | Core → A70: 10–12 min |
DEN Concourse A Map Strategy
- Default to the A-Bridge when you can’t tolerate train crowding or disruption; it’s the only post-security path with a fixed, walkable time budget.
- From either Level 6 security exit, stay on Level 6 and push north along the construction-wall perimeter; any immediate descent commits you to the train ecosystem.
- Treat the Concourse A Center Core as the single navigation “zero point” for everything (train, bridge, food, and both wings); all vertical access to the train is centralized there.
- Add buffer for the A15/A18 sector because the walk doesn’t end at the podium; ground-load/regional flow and shared waiting zones can turn an 6–8 minute walk into a missed-boarding scenario.

In 2025, Concourse A navigation is still defined by the Level 6 security exits feeding into the Great Hall construction “chutes,” with the A-Bridge entrance on the North Glass Wall behind boarding-pass-controlled gates. The train remains the primary mover to B/C, but the A-Bridge stays the only deterministic, walkable redundancy. Expect occasional moving-walkway downtime on the bridge and shifting corridor sightlines near the terminal core due to ongoing renovation staging.

What is the exact post-security walking route from West Security exit to the start of the Concourse A skybridge/A-Bridge corridor entrance?
The A-Bridge entrance is a glass vestibule on Level 6 along the North Glass Wall, reached by staying level after West Security and walking the perimeter corridor instead of descending toward the train. From the West Security exit, turn north immediately and keep the construction hoarding on your right while you follow the wide Level 6 corridor toward the visibly brighter North Wall windows.
Walk past the repacking crowd zone and continue straight until the corridor terminates at the North Glass Wall. The A-Bridge start point is the centrally placed, glass-enclosed vestibule with “Bridge to Concourse A” access gates that require a boarding pass scan; you’ll hit it before any central escalators if you never take a down escalator after screening.
What is the exact walking time (minutes) from the A-Bridge entrance on Concourse A to Gate A15?
Walking takes about 6–8 minutes from the Concourse A end of the A-Bridge to Gate A15 at a standard airport pace with carry-ons. After you step off the A-Bridge into the Concourse A Center Core, turn east (right, facing into the concourse) and follow the main corridor away from the central atrium retail zone toward the A14–A25 regional cluster.
The time swings toward 8 minutes when the regional waiting areas are congested and when you lose help from moving walkways (coverage is better near the core than in the A15 sector). If you’re boarding a regional flight at A15, add extra buffer because the final approach often includes a ramp/ground-load flow beyond the main corridor line.
Where is the Concourse A train platform access located relative to the central Concourse A core (nearest gate-number landmark)?
The train platform access is directly under the Concourse A Center Core, reached via the central escalator bank in the main atrium area. From the core’s retail/food zone (anchored by the duty-free cluster), the down escalators drop straight to the station levels rather than being tucked at either end of the concourse.
As a gate-number landmark, the core aligns roughly between the A33 area on one side and the A48 area on the other, with the escalators sitting in the gate-free middle. If you’re standing near those mid-30s to high-40s gate numbers and see the highest ceiling/atrium opening, you’re at the correct vertical node for the train.
What is the exact walking time (minutes) from Gate A15 to the Concourse A train platform escalators?
Walking takes about 6–8 minutes from Gate A15 to the Concourse A train platform escalators. From A15, head back toward the Concourse A Center Core (the higher-ceiling atrium with the duty-free/central retail cluster) and keep moving until you reach the gate-free middle where the main escalator bank drops down.
Inbound walking can feel slower than outbound because you’re often pushing against people flowing toward the regional gates and because the A14–A25 waiting areas compress foot traffic. Once you hit the core atrium, the down escalators to the train are in the center of the floor opening, not along the outer walls.
Where do arriving passengers using the A-Bridge exit to reach Baggage Claim Level 5 (nearest Door number / elevator bank)?
Arriving passengers using the A-Bridge should exit at the far north end of the Jeppesen Terminal on Level 6 and use the elevator banks at Door 600 or Door 601 to drop directly to Baggage Claim Level 5. After you pass the anti-backflow doors from the bridge into the terminal, avoid pushing forward into the main departures crowd.
Turn right (west) to reach Door 600 and its elevator bank, or turn left (east) to reach Door 601 and its elevator bank. Ride those elevators down to Level 5 to land at the north end of the baggage claim hall, positioned near the end carousels instead of getting trapped in the central Great Hall construction flow.
What is the exact walking route from the Concourse A train platform (terminal station level) to the A-Bridge corridor (first decision point/turn)?
The route is a straight vertical ascent to the Concourse A Center Core followed by a turn toward the south “Terminal” side where the bridge mouth is set into the core’s outer wall. From the Concourse A station platform, take the central escalators up through the intermediate mezzanine and continue up to the main concourse level (the core retail/food atrium).
When you step off the final escalator into the Center Core, make the turn to face the Terminal direction (the bridge is the only large opening on the south side of the core). Walk toward the broad, windowed opening signed for “Terminal”/“Ground Transportation” via walkway; the first decision point is that core-floor turn away from the gate corridors and into the south-wall bridge threshold.

What is the exact walking time (minutes) from the Concourse A train stop to Gate A70 (or the highest-number A-gate cluster on the map)?
Walking takes about 10–12 minutes from the Concourse A train stop (at the Center Core) to Gate A70 in the far A60+ cluster. After you come up from the platform into the core atrium, head down the long wing toward the highest-number gates and stay in the main corridor line, using any moving-walkway segments that are operating.
The estimate trends closer to 12 minutes when foot traffic is dense or when you’re carrying luggage and the moving walkways are down. There is no secondary station near the far-gate extension, so the entire time budget is a continuous walk from the central core.
Where is the fastest vertical path (specific escalator/elevator bank) from Concourse A gate level down to the train platform level?
The fastest vertical path is the central escalator bank in the Concourse A Center Core atrium, which drops directly from the main concourse level down toward the AGT station. From the gate corridors, aim for the gate-free middle with the highest ceiling and the duty-free/central retail cluster, then cut into the center of the floor opening where the escalators plunge downward.
The elevators are adjacent/behind the escalator area, but they typically lose time to waiting and door cycles compared with the high-capacity escalators. If you’re at a far gate like A15 or A70, the speed decision is really “walk to the core first,” because there is no train access at the ends of the concourse.
What is the exact walking route from East Security exit to the A-Bridge corridor entrance (first corridor choice)?
The A-Bridge entrance is reached by turning north out of East Security on Level 6 and following the perimeter corridor to the North Glass Wall vestibule instead of descending toward the train. From the East Security exit, orient north immediately and stay on Level 6 with the construction hoarding on your left and the terminal-side windows/edge corridor on your right as you move toward the brighter north end.
Continue straight until you reach the point where flows from the east and west corridors converge at the glass-enclosed bridge vestibule. Enter through the “Bridge to Concourse A” boarding-pass scan gates; the first corridor choice that matters is choosing the northbound Level 6 perimeter path and refusing any early down escalators.
What is the exact walking time (minutes) from Gate A18 to the Concourse A train platform escalators?
Walking takes about 6–8 minutes from Gate A18 to the Concourse A train platform escalators. From A18, head toward the Concourse A Center Core (the duty-free/central retail atrium) and keep going until you reach the gate-free middle where the main escalator bank descends.
A18 sits in the same regional cluster behavior zone as A15, so congestion and shared waiting areas can slow your pace, especially in peak banks. Once you arrive at the core atrium opening, the down escalators to the train are centralized in the middle of that space rather than along the concourse edges.
