Sound Transit's completion of its Connect 2020 project — to connect new East Link light-rail tracks to the existing light-rail system in downtown Seattle — will be delayed due to electrical issues.
While completing final systems testing for the project last weekend, Sound Transit crews discovered insufficient electrical resistance readings over a segment of newly installed track, Sound Transit officials said in a press release.
The site of the problem has been identified, and Sound Transit is working with its contractor to solve it.
Once repairs are completed, downtown Seattle stations will be closed again to retest and certify the tracks, agency officials said.
