Sound Transit announced Friday an update to their schedule for opening a series of expansions to the light rail system after delays pushing back multiple projects, including the East line link expansion and the T line.
Sound Transit is undertaking one of the largest regional light rail network expansions in the country, looking to expand their service from 26 miles to 62 miles of track.
The agency is now looking into opening an Eastside-only “starter line” between Bellevue and Redmond in 2024, a year before it connects to Seattle. Sound Transit will consider this option in January at their board meeting. Julie Timm, Sound Transit’s CEO, spoke to the challenges that they are facing in rail construction and how they will be moving ahead.
