"Crosslake Connection opens March 28" by Sound Transit - The next phase of the 2 Line in #Seattle will open March 28 across Lake Washington between downtown Seattle and Bellevue via the I-90 floating bridge. Delays in construction around the bridge prevented the entire 2 Line from opening all at once, leaving a gap in the light rail network at the lake. 2 Line trains will run between existing terminus stations at Lynnwood and Redmond. https://www.soundtransit.org/get-to-know-us/news-events/news-releases/crosslake-connection-opens-march-28 #transit #PNW
"Crosslake Connection simulated service begins Feb 14" by #Seattle Sound Transit - Sounds like 6-week operational nightmare: Link Light Rail "2 Line" trains will run the full route from Redmond to Lynnwood, kicking everyone off westbound trains at South Bellevue and eastbound trains at Int'l District because the segment between is only in testing. Cross-lake service, the world's first rail service on a floating bridge, is planned to open March 28. Good luck! https://www.soundtransit.org/get-to-know-us/news-events/news-releases/crosslake-connection-simulated-service-begins-feb-14 #transit #PNW
