Transit Alert Correction – Metro is now using northbound SR 99 & the new Dearborn Street ramp; the AM Rt 37 is still via SODO surface streets

As a clarification from the previous Alert, Route 37 is continuing to use its usual SODO routing when heading into Seattle.  It does not use the SR 99 and Dearborn St routing in the morning.

On Tuesday morning, Metro service that has been rerouted via surface streets in the SODO area for the past several weeks resumed traveling via northbound SR 99, then onto the new South Dearborn Street ramp.

Metro routes 21 Express, 55, 56, 57, 113, 120, 121, 122, 123, 125 and the RapidRide C Line are now travelling via this new long-term routing when heading into downtown Seattle.

For all affected routes except Route 125, the first stop along this new routing is northbound on Third Avenue just south of Madison St.

Route 125 heading into Seattle is serving a new stop northbound on First Avenue just north of Marion St.  It’s next stop is southbound on Third Avenue just south of Seneca St, as it heads back out of town.

The recent temporary stops on Prefontaine Place S and on 3rd Av at James St are no longer served by the SR 99 buses.  There are no other new or revised stops at this time.

Use the regularly published schedules in online and paper timetables. Metro encourages riders to be at bus stops a few minutes before their bus is scheduled to depart.

For the scheduled and predicted departure times of transit service at stops, visit the Next Departures & Stops feature in Metro’s online regional trip planner, or text your stop ID to 62550.

Riders’ patience over the past several weeks during SR 99 revisions is appreciated.
Thank you for riding and for using Metro’s services.
