A Seattle civic improvement project over Westlake Station has turned into a weeks-long hassle for light rail riders trying to ride through downtown.
Sound Transit says it all started last Tuesday when crews removed the historic Ben Bridge street clock from the location at 4th and Pike Street, where it’s been since 1928.Unbeknownst to workers, their act of digging up the concrete holding the clock opened up a hole in the roof of the downtown Transit Tunnel over Westlake Station.
In order to do that, they’re “single-tracking” through the tunnel – meaning only using the southbound platforms for all the trains. To cause the fewest number of delays, a single shuttle train will take passengers between the Capitol Hill and Stadium stations. “If you’re coming from the airport and headed to Northgate, you’ll have to do this,” says Gallagher. “And, if you’re coming from Northgate and to the game, you’ll have to do this too. We really have to do this for safety reasons.”
