Sound Transit begins civil construction on Lynnwood Link extension station, parking structures

Civil construction is underway on all of the parking and station structures on Sound Transit's Lynnwood Link extension, as the project continues to progress toward a 2024 opening.

Overall, civil construction work on the extension is now about one-third complete, Sound Transit officials said in a press release.

The Lynnwood Link extension will include four elevated stations and three new parking structures that will add about 1,500 additional parking spaces to the Seattle transit line.

The $2.9 billion project budget includes up to $1.17 billion from a full funding grant agreement executed by the Federal Transit Administration. In addition, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Build America Bureau executed a $658 million low-interest loan for the project.
