Dear project stakeholder:
The Sound Transit Board System Expansion Committee today received a briefing on the continuing work to reliably set new opening dates for our extensions to the Eastside, Lynnwood and Federal Way. As you will recall, in August we let you know that our construction projects were delayed and that we were conducting a programmatic review to assess rail activation sequencing and time requirements to support the identification of new opening timeframes.
After undertaking a thorough risk analysis, today we outlined two possible scenarios to Board members for their consideration. More work and Board direction are required before we can set reliably updated opening timeframes. A blog post by Sound Transit CEO Julie Timm reflects the analysis undertaken so far and, at a general level, what the opening timing could look like under two different scenarios.
In the meantime, work is continuing to progress on the Lynnwood Link extension. The pace of construction will remain unchanged while the Board considers next steps.
For more information, please contact the Lynnwood Link Extension Community Outreach team at lynnwoodlink@soundtransit.org.
