Federal Way’s light rail extension is on track

Sound Transit’s Federal Way Link Extension project, which will open light rail service from Angle Lake to Federal Way in 2024, is progressing right on schedule. In fact, the project reached a major milestone this month: our design-build contract is more than 25% complete! 

This type of contract means the same contractor, Kiewit Infrastructure West, is both designing and constructing the project, which creates more efficiency. We expect final design to be complete by mid-2021. 

If you live, work or travel along I-5 or SR 99 in this area, you’re likely to see many significant developments. Curious what’s happening behind the fences? Check out our updated photo gallery and our flyover video of the work happening on SR 99 in SeaTac. 

As you can see, there’s lots of activity happening. Be sure to join our Federal Way Link Extension Facebook group to receive timely updates.
 

Loyal to the Local

With construction underway, we highly encourage customers to support businesses along the route. 

When you shop local, you help your neighborhood businesses grow and thrive. Now more than ever, these businesses depend on people like you. Shopping local means you're helping your community as well. So instead of driving across town, keep it local.

We have maps for SeaTac, Kent/Des Moines and Federal Way to help you find businesses quickly.
