Long delays on Sound Transit’s 1 Line have ended after more than three weeks of construction. From Jan. 13 through Feb. 4, Sound Transit’s trains ran on a single track approximately every 26 to 30 minutes between the University of Washington and Stadium stations on weekdays, while shuttle buses between the Capitol Hill and SODO stations replaced light rail service on weekends. Construction included replacing 500 feet of northbound track between University Street and Westlake. According to a press release, these rails were worn and would have eventually become a safety hazard if they were not replaced. Crews also replaced 58 bond boxes, which provide signal connections to the tracks. SOUND TRANSIT Page 3Æ
