Link light rail will be suspended between Capitol Hill and Stadium stations Nov. 16

Sound Transit will suspend 1 Line service on Sunday, Nov. 16 between Capitol Hill and Stadium stations. This closure is necessary to accommodate the replacement of a cracked rail north of Westlake Station.

 

During the disruption, crews will remove and replace a cracked rail on the Northbound track near Westlake station. Trains will operate every 15 minutes between Lynnwood City Center and Capitol Hill stations, and every 10-15 minutes between Angle Lake and Stadium stations.

 

1 Line shuttle buses will operate between Capitol Hill and Stadium every 10-15 minutes.

 

Passengers traveling southbound past Capitol Hill will need to exit trains at Capitol Hill Station and board shuttle buses for service to Stadium stations. Southbound passengers can then re-board Link at Stadium to continue south.

 

Northbound passengers will likewise board shuttle buses at Stadium Station and can reconnect to Link at Capitol Hill for the remainder of their journey.

 

Staff ambassadors will be available to assist passengers at some stations.

 

A language line is available to provide translation assistance for passengers with limited proficiency in English at 800-823-9230.

 

Sound Transit remains committed to working closely with its partners to continue serving the public. Efforts will continue to prioritize serving riders who depend on Sound Transit’s services, including seniors, people with disabilities, Title VI-protected populations (race, color, national origin), passengers with low-incomes, and those with limited proficiency in English.
