Light rail extension to Federal Way is 44 percent complete but still long way from Tacoma
Dec. 28—The 7.8-mile extension of Link light rail from Angle Lake to Federal Way is now 44 percent complete, Sound Transit said this week. That figure includes elevated guideways, station construction and parking garages.
Design work on the $2.54 billion Federal Way Link Extension will be wrapped up in the first quarter of 2022, according to the agency.
When it's operational, passengers boarding in Federal Way will be able to reach Sea-Tac International Airport in 15 minutes and downtown Seattle in 46 minutes.
The line will look close to finished by the end of 2023, said Sound Transit construction manager Nathan Monroe. After that, extensive testing will lead up to the opening date in December 2024.
