With updated health and safety procedures in place to
address COVID-19 concerns, construction of Sound Transit’s Link light rail
extension into Snohomish County has progressed throughout the spring and early
summer.
Please see below updated photos from work building the
future light rail stations in Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood, as well as
earthwork along the future track route. To learn more about the Lynnwood Link
Extension project and its 2024 opening, you can visit Sound Transit’s project

| The light rail tracks will cross I-5 just north of the current Mountlake Terrace Transit Center Freeway Station (seen in the background), which is currently closed for this construction. This view is looking south from the 228th St SW bridge. |

| The light rail tracks will come from the left (south) side of this image, cross to the west side of I-5, on the right, and then travel north to the Lynnwood City Center station at the Lynnwood Transit Center. |
