Sound Transit Breaks Ground on $1.5B Downtown Redmond Link Extension
Sound Transit commenced construction on the $1.53-billion Downtown Redmond Link light rail extension project last week. Elected officials and other dignitaries commemorated the construction milestone at the site of the future downtown light rail station on the Redmond Central Connector Trail at NE 166th Street.
“Demand for transit on the Eastside will only increase as Redmond continues to grow as an area people want to live and work,” said Redmond Mayor and Sound Transit Board Chair John Marchione.
Now that the design build team has been selected, the 3.4-mile project will move forward to extend the Blue Line from Redmond Technology Station into southeast Redmond to its terminus in downtown Redmond. The project, which includes two new stations at SE Redmond and Downtown Redmond, is scheduled to open as part of the future Blue Line in 2024. Underground work for the stations and elevated guideways could begin as soon as summer 2020.
Connect Seattle is set for November 7th at Coterie Worklounge. Plan to join us for the afternoon of CRE conversations and networking. You can find out more information and register on this link.
