Starting as early as Friday, July 17, Link passengers can expect weekend construction and demolition work at University of Washington Station. Crews will be working to remove a wall at the north end of the platform to prepare for the Northgate Link Extension, opening in 2021.
To allow for this work, trains will need to single-track at Capitol Hill and University of Washington stations, so pay close attention to overhead signage to ensure you’re boarding your train in the right direction.
We do not expect single-tracking to cause delays, but riders may experience elevated noise and dust at University of Washington Station.
This work will take place over two weekends, from approximately 10 p.m. on Friday, July 16, until 4:30 a.m. Monday, July 20, and again the following weekend, from 10 p.m. Friday, July 24, until 4:30 a.m. Monday, July 27.
