Starting April 19, Link light rail trains will be single tracking at the Roosevelt, U District and UW Stations from 11 p.m. until end of service for rail maintenance work.

The work will resume at 11 p.m. Wednesday night and will continue every Tuesday and Wednesday night from 11 p.m. until end of service for approximately the next three months.

The track maintenance will affect both northbound and southbound tracks, so both platforms will be affected at different times during the maintenance period. Signage at the stations will alert passengers as to which platform is affected. Passengers should be aware of the direction of the trains arriving at the stations, as that will be the direction in which the trains will continue. 

A language line is available to provide translation assistance for limited English proficiency persons at 800-823-9230.

Sound Transit remains committed to working closely with its partners to continue serving the public. Efforts will continue to prioritize serving riders who depend on Sound Transit’s services, including seniors, people with disabilities, Title VI protected populations (race, color, national origin), low-income and limited-English-proficiency populations. 

Riders can sign up to receive automatic email service alerts for Link light rail, ST Express, Tacoma Link, Sounder Seattle-Everett and Sounder Seattle-Tacoma/Lakewood. Rider Alerts provide information about schedule changes and help riders plan trips around inclement weather. Just go to soundtransit.org/Subscribe-to-alerts.
