Starting Aug. 12, Link Light Rail’s one-line service from the SODO station to Capitol Hill station will be shut down while crews work to fix the sinking tracks.
Spokesperson John Gallagher said that the repairs are urgent and, due to the wet soil, the repairs need to be done during this warm, dry weather that Seattle is having now.
It’s an issue Sound Transit has known about for a while, but the organization claimed the project can’t be done in rainy or overcast weather. The repair work means busses will need to shuttle passengers between the Capitol Hill and SODO stations next weekend. The Seattle Mariners will be in town all weekend, which may cause increased disruptions. Bus shuttles will run between the stations every 10 minutes. Trains will run every 15 minutes between Northgate and Capitol Hill stations and between SODO and Angle Lake stations.
“You should count on an additional half hour. Headways are going to go from eight minutes to 15 minutes. If you’re traveling through Pioneer Square, you’re gonna have to add up to 12 minutes for a transfer,” Gallagher said.
