The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Bridge Investment Program will make the single largest dedicated investment in bridges.
Sound Transit
Sound Transit has been working on the railroad.
Construction of the Lynnwood Link Extension is underway. This is a major milestone to bringing light rail to Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood in just a few years!
One of the coolest parts of the project is the bridge crossing I-5 just north of the future Mountlake Terrace Station.
A section of the bridge was pre-cast in Tacoma, while the other sections were poured into place due to its curved shape.
This bridge will carry light rail trains and what we estimate will be 47,000–55,000 daily riders by 2026.
Follow along on our tour of the bridge deck and inside the structure:
