Sound Transit to close Tacoma Link June 21-29 for construction

Sound Transit is closing Tacoma Link line June 21-29 to allow construction crews for the Hilltop Tacoma Link Extension to connect the existing Tacoma Link line to the new rail yard at the expanded operations and maintenance facility.

The closure will begin at 5:00 a.m. on June 21 and continue until 10:00 p.m. on June 29. During this time, free shuttle buses will serve all Tacoma Link stations between the Tacoma Dome and Commerce Street. During busy times, Sound Transit ambassadors will be available at Link Shuttle stops to direct and assist riders.

Shuttle buses will run on the same schedule as Tacoma Link.

In accordance with an order from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, all Sound Transit passengers must continue to wear face coverings on vehicles and in stations. The agency estimates that nearly all passengers have been complying with the requirement. Transit riders should also follow social distancing and other critical health guidelines to protect the community.
