East Link is moving forward

With help from you and the Eastside community, in the last year Sound Transit has reached several significant milestones on the East Link Project. This included selecting the project to be built as shown on map below and furthering our partnerships with local governments, stakeholders and residents so that the project can move forward into final design.

Project Milestones

Looking forward, Sound Transit will complete the design of the trackway, stations, art installations and construction methods, including sequencing and mitigation. Once the final design process is complete, Sound Transit will build, test and open East Link for passenger service in 2023 (see project milestones below).
