Light rail riders should take into account some extra delays in their commute starting Monday, July 11, as Sound Transit begins work on the second line which will head east into Bellevue.
After months of warnings of the coming construction, Sound Transit has closed Columbia City Station for the next two weeks to do work getting ready for the next expansion.
Future construction will also take place at Columbia City, with closures again expected from August 19 to September 1.continues construction for maintaining and expanding light rail operations, riders are advised to prepare for “intermittent periods of less frequent service and replacement bus service” beginning this summer.
Travel will be impacted during the following days: July 11-July 24 and Aug. 22 to Sept. 4 as train frequencies will be reduced to 20 minutes in both directions during all hours as crews replace tile at the Columbia City Station. The Sound Transit expansion project continues to move forward despite CEO Peter Rogoff’s decision to step down earlier this week.“We as staff knew we were setting ourselves on an ambitious path, but in the years that followed 2016, as we sought to both complete ST-2 and launch the fullness of ST-3, we came to understand that our plans weren’t just ambitious, but they, in fact, were a little bit audacious,” Rogoff said in the front of the Sound Transit board.
