First set of weekend Link closures announced
by Frank Chiachiere from Seattle Transit Blog on (#4NTXS)
We're laying the groundwork to open the Blue Line, a new Link line that will begin taking riders from Northgate to Redmond in 2023.
As part of that work, we need to reduce Link service for three weekends this fall. On the weekends of October 12-13, October 26-27, and November 9-10, there will be no Link service between SODO-Capitol Hill.
Trains will run from Angle Lake-SODO and UW-Capitol Hill, and free buses will connect the six stations in between. (We chose those particular weekends because there are no Seahawks or Husky games.)
This is prep work. The real Connect 2020 closures start next year. See our previous coverage here.
