Sound Transit is detailing new delays in building light rail extensions that will affect passengers around the region.
The agency originally planned to open East Link between Seattle and the Eastside in 2023, but now says it could be 2025 before trains cross Lake Washington because of pandemic-related delays and four miles of track supports that need to be rebuilt.
Timm said 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. “The key is going to be transparency and communication, setting expectations up front. It’s not the perfect scenario. The perfect scenario is no longer in our hands,” said Timm.
She said engineers are still trying to figure out the severity of the problem and when the line can open.
