Publish Date
Body

As early as Tuesday, March 27, Sound Transit's contractor will conduct a large concrete pour at the U District Station (UDS). All concrete trucks will turn around and back into the UDS site to have the concrete pumped out of the trucks. Once emptied they will leave the site through the gate in which they entered. The contractor has obtained a temporary noise variance to do this work. The work schedule is as follows:
