RapidRide H Line construction update
King County Metro, in partnership with the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) and the City of Burien, is working to upgrade Metro Bus Route 120 — one of our 10 busiest routes — to the RapidRide H Line.
With construction getting underway throughout the project area, we invite you to take our construction survey to share comments, questions, and concerns, and guide our outreach efforts as construction continues.
We are continuing to host biweekly virtual construction office hours every other Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Microsoft Teams on Oct. 20, Nov. 3, Nov. 17.
Check out the Metro Matters blog for more information about what is happening now with the construction.
