According to Sound Transit the USD 1.8bn project is within budget and on schedule for delivery in 2016. Sound Transit has completed the Environmental Impact Study, real estate acquisition and final design work on University Link. Construction began on the two stations and tunnel track in 2009 and will continue until University link opens for service in 2016.
The University Link is a light rail extension of the Link light rail system in Seattle and runs entirely underground. The line will connect downtown Seattle with the University of Washington. It is expected to add 70,000 passengers to the Link light rail system by 2030.
