Major milestone marks progress toward extension opening later this year

Construction on all three stations of Sound Transit's Northgate Link Extension is now substantially complete, a major milestone in progress toward the start of revenue service later this year. The elevated station at Northgate was the last to see construction substantially completed. Construction at the UDistrict station was substantially completed last summer, and construction of the Roosevelt Station was substantially completed earlier last year.

"This achievement is remarkable given the construction challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic," said Sound Transit CEO Peter Rogoff. "Thanks to the commitment and professionalism of our construction team, our contractors, and their skilled and dedicated workforce, we remain on budget and on schedule to open this extension in September."

"The completion of station construction is an exciting milestone for the Northgate extension," said King County Executive and Sound Transit Board Vice Chair Dow Constantine. "It's another reminder that we are getting closer to the start of traffic-free commutes for thousands more workers and students, and the beginning of a three-year flurry of projects to nearly triple our light rail system."

"Our city of the future will have fewer cars, more transit, and less carbon pollution," said Seattle Mayor and Sound Transit Board Member Jenny Durkan. "The completion of the Northgate Link Extension will make public transit more convenient and accessible to those who visit, work, or live in and around Seattle. Our partners in King County, Sound Transit, and the construction team completed these stations in the midst of a pandemic, and I know we are all looking forward to riding this newest light rail extension together this fall."

1. I read alitle while ago that of the 25 largest public works projects worldwide only one was US

That being the Seattle transit. I pass thru Seattle occasionally and wasn’t aware of how huge a project it’s been. Kudos to Seattle
